I wouldn’t say the quality of the ship is shocking. Not as well defined but still not bad IMO.
I can clearly see gun ports, individual planks on the hull, an anchor, rigging, a crows nest. I agree the sails don’t appear the smoothest and may lack a little finess but I’ve seen far lower quality WW1 badges that were genuine.
In fact I’d say the voiding on the badge in the opening post is superior. Nice void between the flag and mast on the foremast. Clear voiding between the flag on the main mast and the mizzen mast. Neither void is present on the Gaunt badge.
Here it is next to a Gaunt badge ship. Simon hope you don’t mind me using your picture to demonstrate.
