Hi Malcolm, from first glance I would lean toward re-strike. The slider looks like a short modern version and the overall lack of definition front and back would put me off. I have attached my example for you to take a look at and compare.

Hello Simon,

Thank you for the reply.

Yours certainly looks the better badge! Thank you for posting it to compare.

I will send mine to Room 101 asap!

Kind regards, Malcolm.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for the additional pics.

I will have to accept that mine is a dud!

Kind regards, Malcolm.
