Hi
Could either of these be authentic? I believe the one with the clipped slider may have been excavated. Thank you Mike |

Just from the photographs, I too, would think they are original, although, I'd rather have the bicycle shown in post four!

Interesting thread, the ACC was a sizable Corps, but, you certainly do see corners being cut, regarding the production of cap badges, in common with many others during this period.
I have never understood why there are and have been, for quite some time, so many fakes around simply because of the great number of originals made, although, I suppose the same is true of many badges. Quote:

The ACC did have an expansion as several 2nd /3rd Bns of the TF/Yeomanry were re-roled as cyclists and moved into the ACC for home defence roles.

Cyclists seem to peak at 33,400, 51 yeomanry cyclist regiments and 23 TF cyclist battalions.
Of the badges shown here, I'm not too keen on those with the small part impression of what I think is where the A was miss cut on the top left and also that the rifle barrels obviously don't like up with the stock and bolt, I have 4 of this type one being supposedly made by Woodward and another thst I got from a reenactor as a reproduction with the badge being the same. |

I'm glad this post was resurrected. I try to make time each evening to identify a couple badges and this one happens to be on tonight's agenda...

A nice early example. Should you ever want to sell it then let me know.

Thank you, I would certainly consider it. There are quite a few I have that I have no real connection to and plan to sell them.
