Interesting this badge I have had for many years and certainly predates EBay
It is not the crude fake we are used to seeing I mentioned 20 years plus probably over 30 years as my pall has been dead for more years than I remembered.

It does not have the huge mass of spaghetti to the rear.
It has no attempt made to cover the back with paper or fabric common in the often seen copies.

Which would suggest it may be theatre produced and am not aware of the fakes with this type of backing.

Also must say looks really nice to the front.

I would welcome an image of the same design spoken off.

These things are Hens teeth so I started post with the word Fake

I am sure that this will rattle on for some time I have had many face to face opinions over the years and opinions differ

May be a early Fake from late 60’s 70’s or even produced for veterans ?

Regards
Stephen
