Default Two Lancashire Fusiliers for comment please.

Can anyone give an opinion on these two badges to the Lancashire Fusiliers?
Of note is the opposite way the tabs connecting the scrolls.
Thanks Tony.

Hi Tony
I like them, but that doesn't really mean much...
Cheers,
Alex

Tony,
just another example of a makers variation, I've not come across one with the tabs on the ball like that but never the less I'd say it was genuine!

Tony,
I lied! I have seen one only it was right under my nose and I did not notice the method of construction! Having now examined one "First Hand" I can only confirm it to be a genuine makers variation!

Thanks Andy.
I am at a point in my infantry collecting where I am starting to acquire different variants of the same badge, all very interesting This is where the album section of the forum comes in very useful.
Best regards Tony
