Looks like a 80s Brooks (i can't read so I had to correct it)

I'd say it's less fake than a modern brooks.

Quality Control of modern Brooks is some guy taking a sledgehammer to one of the rails

Yes, that's a 1980s Brooks. I've had one with that badge on it.

It looks like a Brooks Swallow but without the Depose 1937 metal label and leather flap.

Anyway, yes, I had a very similar one
