Australian Squadron Other Ranks' Headdress Badge - Copy

The copy in Figures 259 has a coppery appearance and is a poor quality die-struck badge with north-south loops which are footed. The loops are often positioned east-west on copy badges.

A comparison of the close-up of the head and jaw bones on the genuine badge shown in Figure 257 and the copy in Figure 259 shows them to be much broader on a genuine badge than on an example of a copy.
