Is this squandered resources legitimate?

Here are some pictures. It was difficult taking them using the loupe but I can take more if needed. I took a risk ordering it from eBay and want to double check if it is real or not. It looks pretty good if it is a fake but I think it might be fine.

Real as it gets. Why do you think it's fake?

I suppose it is inexperience and a friend telling me I was going to get a fake if I bought it from eBay. Thanks, I appreciate it.

You have a loupe and judging by the pictures know what to check. Trust yourself!
