Default Canadian Parachute Corps cap badge

Any thoughts on this?

I think it's fake because of white metal.

White metal = fake. Voided brass = fake.

You know what, I have seen an ever growing number of these recently, they just keep on turning up, I wonder if someone has got their hands on a quantity and dumped them onto the market, where did you find your example?
