If that is a fake,the bench numbers ( I think that is what they are called ) are a nice touch.

Hopefully all off the fakes will have the same bench mark number, just different regt scrolls.

someone had it made as a gap filler, by a badge company, who make alot of the current copies, and sells them as copies, eg officers HP £45.00.
