case back help!!

It would be very difficult to machine threads on this case back. You would need to mount it in a lathe by the shoulder inside the case back, center it, make the proper cutting tool, have a perfectly timed automatic feed, and cut the threads from the base of the case back to the outside with zero mistakes. You only get one shot at it. 

We see replica case backs and unsigned generic case backs for sale for $20USD and this gives the impression they are cheap and easy to make. Not true. The machinery needed to stamp the blanks out and machine the case backs is sophisticated and may cost over one hundred thousand USD.

I also have serious doubts about it being genuine.

Imho in its current condition, it is a $5USD case back. It should be valued at what it is, not what it could be.
