Hi Mark
It certainly looks like a copy, perhaps of an alternative 106 Glengarry Badge to the one that appears in KK. I have several light infantry badges that don't appear in KK.
With glengarry badges serially faked for well over 100 years I'd argue its almost impossible to spot a real one without provenance - but they were never officially cast.
Interesting for reference though as I'd assume that a real badge was the original master somewhere down the line - I'd have bought it if it was cheap.
And thanks for the shako image Mick!
