Let's put it this way - it's in the right category! The originals were die-stamped and the cap badge was not actually worn during the war by the Fusiliers Battalion at all. It was a post war badge worn in Palestine by the Jewish Bn's successor the First Judeans 1919-21.

See here for the detail. http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ghlight=jewish.

I wouldn't of thought Firmin would produce something of such poor quality as that. IMHO.
