i have been given this side cap by a gent who supposed to know the lad it belonged to who worn it through the war.

it feels ok and looks right for the age but a concern i have its the front buttons are black and feel like plastic every other one i have saw like this have metal and gold colour buttons i have taken pics allround the side cap if someone can be honest and tell me if its a genuine one or a repo i would apperiate it.

thanks
