Hi ccfc,
I've attached the "wrong" version that Luc mentioned for reference.
As you can see the letters are stitched through the purple backing cloth.

Well, actually I spotted this badge on the site (https://clementsmilitaria.com/shop.php?code=55856) of a dutch dealer.
Looks like a good badge to me but the marks are odd.

Good morning gents,

I haven't but maybe the more knowledgeable have?
