Default 2 INNISKILLING BADGES

5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards
6th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards
I would like to put these badges on the forum for sale, but would like an opinion on the authenticity, I have had the badges a long time but as I have learned that means nothing.

Your 6th I D G is a copy.John Mulcahy shows a good one on this post.Main thing to check is the 2 1/2 "bricks"over the two central openings,for a good one.

The lack of voiding in the windows in the turrets is a concern and no 'sweat' holes behind the scroll as well. I don't think it's a good one.
Cheers,
Alex

Hello Arty

Your 5RIDG badge looks OK.

However the 6D Badge, I would suggest is a Copy which are quite common, Alex Rice has hit the nail on the head.

Regards
Rob
