Hi Micky
Yes, the original badges had blade fastenings on the rear, the lugged ones are copies. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I think the example you show is spurious, original examples worn by the RND and on occasion, the RNAS, are quite scarce these days, notwithstanding the obvious lugs, it actually looks brand new and certainly not one hundred years old.
