Default PEI Light Horse Badge

Saw this PEI Light Horse Badge on ebay at what I think is a decent price (at least relative to what I've seen them sell for). Obviously it's relugged, but can someone who knows them better comment on the authenticity? I haven't had the chance to look at enough of them to be sure, and I'd hate to shell out the money for a fake!

Default looks fine

..also those are the original lugs. The discolouration is from the original attachment of the lugs. If the lugs had been replaced, you would see new solder.

Thanks for the info guys! I did end up buying the badge. Thanks in particular for the info about the lugs, I always assumed that that particular type of discoloration came from relugging - I'm the first to admit I've still got alot to learn about badge collecting.

I remember seeing this badge on eBay. Nothing wrong with it at all. If I was still in the market for a nice example, It would have cost you more. LOL

Congradulations on this one.
