Default 51st Soo Rifles converted to pin

I've had this badge in my collection for about 35 years. It obviously is not one of the current slider repros that are so common. It appears to originally have had lugs, but a pin attachment has replaced them - perhaps as a puggaree badge?

I have had one opinion that it is a repro, but would like to put it to the Forum for opinions, especially as to the Gaunt plaque.

Thank you.

Yours looks like a good badge. The Gaunt Montreal plates are not known to have been repro'd.

Thanks, Bill. So it is the Gaunt London ones one has to watch out for?
