Indeed, the quality of hand embroidered badges, whether metal or cotton, has plummeted to a very poor state in the past 50 or 60 years.
As Toby has mentioned, little has been made in the UK during this period and perhaps none of recent years.
In my opinion, the badge in question is likely of 60s or 70s vintage. After that, Mylar was typically used, an even further decline in quality of materials.
