Why bother to post that example if you think it’s fake ?

Nobody has yet said it is genuine, but why do you think it is fake
Personally I look at hands feet and face on these badges, construction I doubt in my limited experience changed much from 1890 up till introduction of the Anodised versions and with exception the WW1 economy issues and the pipers vb and territorial badges
