Default Leeds Pals Gift.

I was given this badge today to put with some medals I am framing. I have no idea how to tell a genuine one from a restrike. Most of the high points on the badge are polished smooth, has two soldered lugs on the back. Going to frame it either way but would be nice to know.

For comaprison this one is mine and genuine imo.

Yours has a few noticable differences and the same traits as an old repro die.
