Default Para title, opinions needed

I have had this title for some considerable time and have never been quite sure as to it's authenticity, compared with another I have the weave is different.
Could I please have some opinions on this please.

Sorry I hit the wrong button, pics to follow.

For comparison, here's an authentic example - worn in 7 Para in 1948. Mike

Default Para title

Mike, thanks for the picture, I have an identical title I bought with wings, printed pegasus and three menus for post war dinners.

You think this one is a dud.

Smile Para title

Mike, you confirmed my thoughts, many thanks.

This item came with a job lot some years ago, nearly all good stuff from what I can remember.
