Default Royal West Kent OSD

Another Royal West Kent badge that I’m in need of some advice on please.

I’m struggling to work out whether or not it is genuine.

I’ve seen OSD badges with East West aligned and three blades but not one with North South aligned blades.

The other badges I’ve seen aren’t as flat backed as this one, and I was also expecting the blades not to be as thin as they are.

I know that OSD fakes are relatively rare, however I know they do exist, hence my question as to whether this might be a ringer.

Thanks Alan

That definitely helps confirm my suspicions.
