This badge came on the card used for the photo background, indicating that it had been on it for some time (or at least a long period in direct sunlight). The lugs on it are not made from copper wire but are pre-punched items amde from flat brass.
Is this 'good', Canadian or a re-strike?
Opinions welcomed.
Thanks, Stephen.

Its good. The flat lugs are a makers perculiarity. I have a Royal Scots badge collected in WW2 which has the same.
