Hope you’re well Malc? I’m sure the SF experts will confirm but from what I’ve read in LRDG threads I would say it’s a fake sorry due to the leg touching the circlet and tail tip adjoining a leg, plus lack of voiding around the letters.

Cheers,

Luke

The badge is a common fake, regularly found on eBay ...

Enjoy the hobby, Keith
