Default Eritrea Police cap badge - good or bad?

Good morning

This is the cherry in the lot of African and ME Police badges I've just obtained, used by the Eritrea Police during the British administration. I had, and disposed of, one many moons ago so have been on the lookout for a replacement for the last few years. It measures approx. 4.5 x 5cm, and comparing it with photographs of others it looks good to me, and in better condition than some, but with the number of fakes around I’m a bit paranoid that I’m not seeing some glaring flaw.

What do the experts think? As always any comments, good or bad, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking

Graham

A very good and typical example.

Thank you both for you input, you've put my mind at rest and it is much appreciated.

Just need to get the first pattern now.

Thanks again chaps
