Default Worcestershire Hussars, opinion, please...

Not sure about this badge, bought in England a few years ago... Your opinion can be helpful for me. Thanks to everyone.
Vincent.

I would say repro.... miss aligned loops, plus the huge feet on the loops and the rear of the badge is not a well defined stamp? This badge should normally have a slider.

I go with the low definition as a sign of a questionable one. Sometimes offset loops can be found on originals, but not often I have read. But I could be wrong.

Vincent,
Here's the back of mine, 2 lugs & a large sweat hole. A few people have posted pics of this badge with no crown, possibly broken off because a slider was fixed to it and this would make it very weak with no strengthening where the crown joins the leaves, so it would make sense to see this badge with lugs. I'll keep a look out for one for you, best wishes,
Wilf.
p.s can't add photo for some reason, will try later.

This is one of the 1970's ENGLAND restrikes probably made with an original die.
