[actionoke]

Can anyone say what period this badge would fall under...ww2 or post as a copy maybe?

I would say it was a copy.
Is it a separate black backing ??

YES it is sepearate but has been sown onto each other due to use

I dont know these badges well enough to offer an opinion, obviously this one was worn,

however, the former topic on Combined Operations insignia might help:

Here's a perfectly standard printed example for comparison purposes:

I would say copy. Originals should be single skin with red on the back, should be able to see the design coming through like Mikes example

I'd say a rather poor copy, it has very little detail! Mike's type is what you should look for.
