A standard tall orb fake. Not 100% of them are voided at the far right scroll end giving them the stereotypical notch.

I know I am an older collector but are they really bothering to fake what must be one of the most common British cap badges?

Presumably going to the trouble of attaching 3 lugs and a spinning wheel make the badge more desirable as an "older" piece or a variation of private purchase?

Nothing new with these fakes as they've been around for years.
