Default Inebriated die sinker?

EviiiR RE badge, cleaned to stop verdigris, yay or nay?
Yay: solid badge, good slider, domed cypher and garter, no voids between wreath and garter as with most fakes.
Nay: the garter motto looks like it was done by an inebriated die sinker!

Rgds, Thomas.

Thanks bc, the 'M' and 'A' of MAL do look a bit like a double stamping, the rest not so much and are just all over the place.

Thomas,
The overall detail is pretty poor, I think it's a reproduction?

Could very well be, Andy, but I hope not.
