Default West Yorkshire Regiment.

I have had what I thought to be a right West Yorkshire Regiment cap badge for some years but have never been entirely happy with it. I bought a second West Yorkshire cap badge this morning and putting the two together the differences are obvious. The fake has a more horizontal tail; straighter lower back legs and is running across a bagette shaped grassy knoll. There is also a much narrower space between the T of West and the Y of Yorkshire. The metal is generally thinner, bendier and the title scroll attaches to lugs on the white metal horse section of the badge.

They may of course both be wrong. Your thoughts please.
