Billy,
I am not expert in London Regt Badges but the voided centre seems like a good indicator of authenticity. Copies I have seen and owned are non voided. No doubt Luke H or others more knowledgeable will provide a more definitive answer. Mark |

It’s absolutely fine. Not the finest quality example but as Mark says a good one.

Rear of badge and crown. Looks like I was right in first off?

No it’s genuine. The slider shape, strong crimp line and crown voids are reminiscent of a badge produced by the manufacturer F.E. Woodward.

Completely agree JT. Certainly a type worth keeping an eye out for to see if one surfaces with a marked slider.
