Fife and Forfar Yeo

[davidguthrie]

I've got a Fife & Forfar Yeomanry badge I bought last year when I just started gaining an interest in Scottish badges. At the time I didn't know about all the restrikes/repros out there, so I assumed it was "good". But now after reading a lot about badges on this site, not so sure any more. I'm hoping it's original of course, hesitated on posting it for comments, but would rather know the truth. It was listed as "W.W.I. Scottish Army ( Yeomanry ) badge (The Fifeshire and Forfarshire Yeomanry)" when I bought it (yes, bought it on eBay).

Hoping some of the badge experts out there will give it to me straight (but please be gentle). Is it original? If not, what's the giveaway?

Thanks,
David

By the way, I've also got a Scots Guards badge I've listed separately since Guards is a separate category, hoping to get some comments on it as well.
