Default EDMONTON FUSILIERS motto error

Just picked up this Edmonton Fusiliers badge and was wandering if it is a copy?
The seller on ebay says its an original and he has a rating of 100%. Emedals
The only flaw I see is that when the badge was made the white metal was slightly off from left to right {like a double strike off kilter} "note the inner right ring below the Fusiliers". I personal have never heard of this badge being copied or faked. Opinions please for I have 10 days to return if not satisfied with the badge.

Hi Chilliwack, Could you post an image of the reverse?

"It looks good to me. They are a fairly common badge, falling into the category of lots of them, but overpriced."

My apologies for the entry in quotations. I missed the part about the error motto - If you hear a loud "POP" resonating from Kingston, that will my head being extricated from a warm dark cavity.
Many of the Edmonton Fusilers badges that I have seen have been roughly made with the white metal overlay not always centred. This trait may very well have shown up in the error motto variety.
I hope this helps.

Phil

Hi Chilliwack, The badge looks okay from the images. It appears to have been double struck or mis-struck.
