Drake Battalion, unvoided crown, not Gaunt

[High Wood]

I would like some thoughts on this Drake Division cap badge please. The crown is unvoided and it has no J.R.Gaunt maker's plate and no sweat hole behind the sailing ship.

I have read many threads on Drake Division badges this morning that seem to show conflicting views on what makes a good one.

I am convinced that it is genuine and will produce my evidence to this effect in due course.
