Its bent as they come : restrikes have die flaws on upper and right cross arms... look at that nasty blob under the A of ARIS. It also has poor rear definition which is a bad sign esp in most London badges, these badges can be either voided or solid centres but you should look for a voided crown.

You can tell from the sliders also, if you compare the two restrike ones you can see that they're pretty chunkey and horrible to be honest. Yours has a very shallow crown Jeanpit, real ones generally had a good depth to the crown as found on all older KC badges.
