Appears to have the overly large ‘I’ in HONI that goes into the outer circlet border as seen on a great many of the Beds and Herts repros.

Without a better pic it’s hard to say for certain, but suffice to say from what I can see not a badge I would want in my collection.

I just inspected it through a loupe and the font is the same as the rest with a gap at the bottom of the I
just not a good picture really
The I is perfect and unattached to the circlet

Notwithstanding from what I can see of the back and slider shape I still do not like it, the taper is reminiscent of the ENGLAND marked restrikes or Morrison sliders.

Have to agree with Luke on the slider , I’d have my doubts with it .
