Hi there,

I'm fairly sure both yours are genuine examples, this badge was worn for over 50 years and was made by many different manufactures so there are a load of variations.

I have attached a card of a number (not all) of my other ranks West Yorks cap badges and each is different, there are some cast examples at the bottom which from my logic are also genuine having being worn by the Regiment (bearing in mind their service in both the middle and far east).

Cheers,

Marcus
