Opinions on this one please.

Looks fine to me.

It might just be the photo, but it looks very thin.
Can you photo the side ?

[irishhorse]

Sorry don't have a side view picture. What about the die fault around the letter "S" ?

[Parabellum]

Some, but not all, Yorkshire regt centres are flawed around the edge, but have been passed as okay on the forum, so the flaw alone may not matter.

Is that the one from the British Army Badges site? I’ve seen one on Minden with the same flaw but with a very attractive cut down slider. I believe they’re genuine.

[irishhorse]

Yes it is, I've seen originals without the flaw. OK there would have been more than one manufacturer.

[Luke H]

Definitely two different dies (i.e. manufacturers) minimum. I’ve seen originals without flaw on rectangular loops and also cut down sliders. K&K shows two KC examples noting the harp is of different design.
