Hello All,

Would greatly appreciate any feedback as regards thoughts on authenticity for this one.

Certainly looks okay from the photographs.

thanks Frank! I thought it was just fine too, but a sanity-check here on the forum is never a bad thing!

G'day Mark

This badge has been discussed many time here on the forum and if you do a search you should find all the info that you need.

I don't claim to be an expert on the Nellies however my understanding is to look for the following features
1 the separation between the tusks.
2 the separation between the elephants tail and butt.
3 the placement of the lugs as far to each end, like yours.

Using the above as a guide I'd say you have a good one, however others may differ.

I hope that this helps.

Regards

Phil.

Thanks Phil,

Indeed, the guideline was very helpful. It certainly does smell right!

It's a good one in my opinion. PY.

It is correct to the period. This badge is actually one of the more common Victorian era cavalry badges. I can only speculate that this is partly because of the attractiveness of the design as a keepsake saw more being collected.

Thanks gentlemen!
