Default Plastic Royal Welsh Fusiliers

Gents, I posted this before, thought I'd try again

Its a plastic (correctly coloured) RWF cap badge on a crude slider.

Its similar to the crude black plastic RRF examples (there are 3 incarnations of it) made I believe for a Op Banner tour.

If anyone knows anything about it, I'd be grateful.

Thanks all

Bess

Is it actually plastic, the obverse photograph looks like anodised alloy?
