Default Good or bad?

Hi all,
Before I let this badge go, I just wanted to be sure it's a good one and not a restrike?

Many thanks for your opinions.

Unfortunately I believe that to be a fake. The strike is poor; the lugs and braze are wrong.

I believe this badge was sold in the museum shop and was never an original badge, being loosely based on the pouch or bandsman's buckle badges
