Default Any opinions on this curly scrolled Leinsters cap badge please?

Hi guys,

Another one that I have many doubts about, another ebay item with no decent rear view photo.

Any opinions to the contrary before I return it?

Cheers,

Phil

Phil,
There looks to be a lack of definition in the area behind the coronet and the lack of a braise hole in the center. I think it's a fake.

Hi Eddie,

Its a shame because its very well put together and a good looking badge (from the front).

Cheers,

Phil

Mine is here for comparison. I have seen ones like yours before and the detail is not as good as mine.

Thanks Alan,

The slider on mine is cause for concern too, going by yours. I have asked the seller for a refund now. I will wait and see.

Nice badge you have there, is it for sale

Cheers,

Phil
