Default Royal Warwickshire Cap Badge

Hi to All
I wonder if anyone can tell me anything about this Royal Warwickshire Cap Badge I recently acquired.
I've looked at various other badges but they're all facing left. This one is facing right.
It appears to be made in a cast bronze and has three loops on the back.
I'd just like a confirmation if it's a complete fake ?
The badge measures 57mm across x 40mm top to bottom.

Nice example but not a cap badge it is an OSD (Officer's Service Dress) Bronzed collar badge worn in pairs

Hi Tim
Thank you for your information. At least it's not a copy then. It just seemed large for a collar badge. That's why I assumed it was a Cap badge.

Have a look here (scroll down) to see a pair being worn by Fothergill Rex Elderton a 2nd Battalion Loos casualty.

Hi Paul
Thanks for the link. It shows clearly the actual size. I hadn't realised they were quite so big.

Royal Warwicks officers' SD badges are all the same size, cap and collar. The style of that badge looks similar to my father's suggesting possible WW2 period wear/manufacture.
