Just bought this cap badge on eBay.

As you can see ( http://www.156squadron.com/capbadge.html ) it has what appears to be a Pathfinder Badge attached.

But is it genuine?

Is there any way of identifying a genuine from a fake?

The Cap badge itself is of high quality and the pathfinder badge appears to be copper based with gold paint.

Final question, what is the significance (if any) of the dual leaves under the badge, is this a rank symbol, if so what ?
Thanks
