Just seen an offer on eBay 184484511558 which is quite suspicious.

For me this Silver Snoopy is one of the faked brass ones, painted silver-gray. Those have been offered also on eBay and still are offered.

The Snoopy on the certificate itself also has some suspicious lines. As I know this Snoopy is embossed in the certificate, this one here looks like sticked like a decal onto the certificate itself.

Also the seller states that some users told him that this one is fake. what do you think?

Got to love an ebay seller such as this one who puts in the "item description," that "It's real to me."

That's convincing.

I agree that this appears to be one of the more recent fakes but 'aged' to look like a vintage original.

It's a shame that UFS never shut down all the original sellers of these modern fakes. Amazing that people were even adding a United Features Syndicate Copyright to the fake pins and the company didn't seem to care.

The sale apparently did not go through and the seller has relisted it.
