Hi Edwin,
A reproduction badge I believe, extended wing tips, straight ends to the feathers amoungst other things! Not my area of collecting as yet so hopefully others in the know will confirm

Edwin,
As posted above it's a repro! The slidered versions are generally regarded as post war, with the war time badges being lugged. I've one in my eBay shop with some good images you can use for comparison.

Best Regards

Andy
