Default WW2 Canadian Officer's Parachute Cap Badge

This badge didn't go for much (and didn't make the reserve, so I guess it didn't go at all) - is it suspect? Reading older posts, I understand that the flat-backed badges should have screw posts and be marked W SCULLY... Ian.

There are both flat backed and die struck, and both unmarked and Scully-marked officer badges. Mine is flat backed, Scully marked, and has lugs. I don't recall seeing one with screw posts. With 9 days before Christmas, I'd guess money is stretched thinner than this badge's credibility.

Hello David - here is a link to some pics of an in-credible officer's badge with screw posts... Cheers, Ian.
