Default 3rd KINGS OWN HUSSARS - RESTRIKE?

Hello again Gents, wonder if the Hussars Guru's could offer an opinion on this
pre 1921 badge to the 3rd Kings. Seems to have the correct spacing between the ground and top of scroll. Noticed that the letters G and S in KINGS and the O in OWN seem to be a little smaller. There is also a slight defect in the A in HUSSARS. Bright yellowish colour to the scroll and slider. In overall appearance appears identical to the photo posted by Chrisr in Feb 2008?
Appreciate any thoughts on this one.
Cheers!

Hi Leonard
It looks ok to me the tell tale sign on the fakes is the line beneath the 'RD' they dont have one.
