Royal Engineers ' very flimsy'

[bess55]

Gents, whilst it looks ok from the front I believe, it is very flimsy and 'suspect'.

Any confirmation or otherwise welcome. Thanks chaps

Bess, this badge has not been completely finished, flashing between the laurels and the crown that should not be there.

I assumed that this was attributed to a wartime economy issue, but my concern was how thin and bendy it is. I feared it may be a copy/ fake, if such were made of Royal Enginerts badges?
