Default 6th Inniskilling Dragoons Badge.
Not sure what to make of this one. Something produced and worn overseas. Or the worst fake ever ?

Billy it is flat, but looks to have been made that way.

Default 6th Inniskilling Dragoons Badge
It looks like faulty towers, maybe a grant from the National Trust could help

Billy there was only one badge I was after. A nice die cast silver 6D officers badge. Blades gone, but will get it repaired. And a Happy Christmas to you.
