The genuine ORs badges of which there are a few patterns, have wider scroll tips, with a slight flourish midpoint. There is a bronzed ORs pattern however it does not feature the Regimental pattern (Adelaide) crown and has a standard King's/Imperial crown. Sadly this member dealer, with a great reputation has possibly slipped up here!

The same fake pattern in silver from an undisputed dodgy dealer

I am not sure why you have posted a link to my thread regarding a possibly fake RWF Economy Issue cap badge.

When you are a 93 year old widow these things happen.

Hello Simon,
Certainly not something you would expect a 93 year old widow to write or even be party too either.
I too am a little confused.
Regards Frank

You have stated you are a 93 year old widow lady whose husband used to collect badges.

How therefore can you provide intimate details of badges such as this.

Were you by any chance lying through your teeth when you stated your age, sex and status openly on this Forum or is it the case you are someone who is hiding behind a false identity?

Please explain yourself.
