If red reverse and shows 'shadow' ie 'Bleed-through' traces of the front design (see attachment) - it is likely WW2.
The reverse of badges often tell us as much as the front - always wise to share images of both front and back of fabric badges.

It appears to be original, but the back will tell for sure as Mike says.
It's an odd shape though, I have not seen one with the top folded down.

Hi, the back of the badge...

Ravick - not the clearest image ... looks to be signs of bleed through though, you will know better looking at the item itself.

As Luc says - an odd shape - but I have a few folded over ones. One folded into a rectangle.

All the best
Mike
