Before it get thrown or given away, can you say what makes it a fake? Is it bendable? Too light? Can you write with it? Does the thickness vary on the arms?

Its like its made of lead and very soft plus the ribbon ring is wrong what should be done with it?

I once brought a fake item when i found out i ground it down to dust

It may be a good start for a younger person to become acquainted
with militaria and collecting - even if it is a fake.
I would let someone else have it !

yeah why not , itll help a young collector to tell the difference between good and bad
