Default Post Office Rifles Badge

Hi all, recently purchased this POR badge from The Medal Guy for £10 and was wondering if anyone could tell me if it was legitimate or not, thank you

Apologies.

I've changed my mind, to probably ok after having a better look and being able to see the reverse.

Not keen on the letter Os and some of the distorted letters, however that may be caused by the quality of the picture.

Regards.

Brian

Looks fine to me. Hard to tell if the seeding to the cross has been sanded off as with some Bedfordshire badges. That the only possible problem I can see. May just be the picture. Regards, Paul.

It does look like the cross has had an effort made to make the cross smooth/shiny. I expect that was taken into account with the price.
Link to the ones I have. I now have all the badges I picture. Regards, Paul.
