Parachute Regiment - Good?

This came from a trusted ebay dealer who obtained it from the auction house Wallis & Wallis. I have no reason to doubt it except to say this is a much copied badge and many fakes are known to exist. After reading some exisitng threads I find myself reassured but not totally convinced. I am uncertain about the die-flaw seen on the left wing on some fakes. Also the chute's rigging not lining up with the canopy. Would I also be correct to assume the non-voided crown is OK but a later issue than the voided?

Thank you Andy. Always nice to get a thumbs up from you. I got a bit confused while researching this one. Often happens when I'm checking so many threads. I tend to mistake a variation for a contradiction.
