Default Parachute régiment cap badge KC

Dear all,

What do you think about this cap badge? Legit or bad feelings?

Thanks a lot.




Cheers,

WW2 para cap badges were not fitted with a slider, another red flag besides the already mentioned extended wing tips.

Very bad feelings indeed, just at a glance at the obverse, the crown is not of the shape you would expect to see on any original.
