Default 60th Overseas Battalion C.E.F.

A recent purchase, which now that I have it in my hand, I have some doubts about. My other C.E.F. badges are die cast and are much sturdier in construction. This example is die struck. The jewels on the crown are also different from the badges shown in the C.E.F. gallery.

Is this a known variant or should I return it for a refund?

Thank you. Having removed my few other C.E.F. badges from their temporary board, it seems that the badge may have been made in England as only the Canadian made badges have the more solid construction.

Admittedly, I have only a very small sample group to work from.

Thank you for the information. If I understand you correctly, my badge is a type 2, (5 jewels on centre rib) and NMM.
