Brass Eritrea Police cap badge - good or bad?

[Chacal]

Good evening

I’ve had this Eritrea Police cap badge for a few years and thought I’d post it for opinions as to whether it is good or bad. At 4.9 x 4.9cm it is about the same size as the standard WM cap badge but fretted from stamped sheet brass with round E-W lugs on the reverse. It is similar to item #1925 on page 83 of British Colonial Badges II, but appears to have been struck using a different die - and cut out with a lot less care. At the time I understood it to be a genuine badge, but not WWII-era. Personally I like it, but what do members think?

As always any info, suggestions or opinions will be gratefully received.

Thanks for looking

Hi Graham,

It is certainly not the standard die-struck example. But I love it, I would say it's a locally made example.

Great badge.

Cheerio,
