7th Leeds Rifles Cast? Cap Badge ebay

[FMT600]

Hi all,

I don't suppose anyone on here won the following 7th Leeds Rifles Cap Badge on ebay? If they did could they please confirm wherever it is a cast copy or not?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7th-Bn-Lee...vip=true&rt=nc

The reasons I ask for the above clarification include:

1. Non voided crown (with small pin/casting hole), this pattern die should have a voided crown.

2. Very poorly defined detail on the rear of the badge (when compared with other badges made from this die).

As I was outbid I wont be able to get a hands on/magnifying glass close up look at the badge to confirm one way or another, of course the back of the ebay badge along with the crown voids could be filled with an accumulation of dirt and the likes? Possibly the badge is ground dug with some surface corrosion? Possibly the voids in the crown may be filled with overrunning braze from when the slider was fitted?

I have added pictures below of one of my badges made from this die for comparison, points to note are the voided crown and crisp deep detail to the rear of the badge along with the clearly defined seeding.

Cheers,
