AFC Wing genuine?

[seaeagle25]

Hi there guys

I purchased this AFC wing 25 years ago when I was only starting badge collecting. Now I feel that it may not be genuine. It does not seem to have been worn and is great condition apart from the black felt - condition seems too good. It has a yellow wreath which I have never seen before - would a person trying to fake a wing go away from the normal brown wreath or the green and blue ones that occur rarely? It has passed the black light test and the burn test on the thread but I am not too sure. The photos of the back may be the best way of determining whether it was a 1918 production - I am not sure what the thread should look like on the back. Any thoughts?

Kind regards

Doug
