Default London Regiment Fake?

Think I have bought a dud here. Can any one confirm either way?
Cheers,

Have measured the J R GAUNT B'HAM mark and it is as per the makers marks section on this forum. i.e.1.5 x 24.4mm.
The paint looks a bit thick and there is no definition on the back, but others will know a lot more than me!

If you are after a 100% genuine Queens Royal Rifles badge look for one that has a HW Timings mark.

I would agree with Mike. It was not a big unit and quite short lived. Timings one for me every time.
