Today's undecided?
Some of my latest finds. Haven't done any serious buying for a while. I'm a little out of practice. Grateful thanks in advance for any help. Tony.
Welsh Guards - Solid back, D shaped loops. Looks OK to me. Front Back Blues And Royals - Never had one of these before. Help needed. Front Back Worcestershire Regiment - I think this is a fake. Poor definition on the back. Should this be a slider rather than loops? Signs of polish wear though. Front Back Royal Irish Fusiliers - 1 piece version. This looks brand new. Modern repro?

Sorry, but the Royal Irish Fusiliers badge looks like a Birmingham mint copy.
It has the Eagle rather than the Harp with POW feathers. Eddie |

Thanks ebro. Now that you've said Birmingham Mint I know, for sure, that you are right. The seller had another dozen or so in the box I was rummaging through. They were all w/m badges. The RIF looked different so I took a chance. Should've known. Cheers again.

Hi Phil. I really like the WG. I'm sure its OK but I've never had an early one, which I suppose mine to be. Could be wrong.

The Welsh Guards is good but probably WW2 not "Early" (c.1915)

I always thought for Welsh Guards the WWI version was on a slider and the lugs is WWII, but I don't know if that is true or when the change took place.
