Hello,
As you say the badge is painted and I would say its relatively modern paint, so not a good sign.
Officers Service Dress (OSD) cap badges were in Bronze and ranged in colour from dark to light and were not painted brown.
I dont know whats lurking underneath the paint but I would suggest probably not a genuine badge otherwise why paint it (recently)
regards
