Do you have a good image of the stamp (front and back)?
For comparison, here is my Sn.85 D grill. Not certified but I am pretty sure it is a D grill.
My pics are not as good as yours, but the front and back are shown.
Sorry to hear of the unfortunate opinion.
From what I can see, it does look like a D grill to me. Any chance you can get a better image (or scan). I would like to see details to understand why it was not certified. I notice they did not indicate any reasons or any alternative. Seems like the least they could do for what it cost?
I am not real swift when it comes to scans. My first try was from my scanner. Played around with it using irfanView and could not make it any better. The following is from my microscope and maybe is a little better, but probably not enough. The front view with the arrow shows what appears as almost a cut across the bottom and starting up both sides. Difficult to see, but shows up fine under magnification. I agree, they should have at least told me why they believe it is a fake.
I might add that the grill measures 12 X 14, but difficult to count the grill points. Every time I tried a came up with something different.

After 100 days waiting, not the 85 D grill I was hoping for.
