Default West Kent Yeomanry

Hi all, I am hoping this badge is an original. The dealer had seven huge boards of badges, even as a novice collecting badges it was obvious they were all restrikes. This badge stood out to me. The slider is too hard to bend and the front of the badge compares well to other genuine badges on here. Can any one confirm either way? Only cost a fiver so if original I have done ok for once!!
Cheers, John

Some good photos of genuine badges from both the WKY and Cyclists and not forgetting Dartford GS wore this upto the 1940s.
