Devonshire collars
Hi guys
Could anyone tell me whether these collars are standard OSD finish? Cheers Colin

OSD bronze
I'm not sure that there is or was a standard OSD finish, I have original badges in a variety of colours ranging from very dark brown to a lighter almost tan colour.
Maybe other members may have the answer, Rob |

Hi Rob
Maybe battalion and/or makers variations? Cheers Colin

I'd be more concerned about the state of the left turret on both badges, unusually poor for OSD's

Hi Keith
You're thinking restrike/fake? Do you have an example of a "good one" for comparison? Colin

Cheers for the inputs guys!
I'm hoping maybe they're rejects (due to die-fault, maybe?) Late Friday issue?? Apart from the Fawlty Tower they look and feel good. I know, clinging to straws here... Colin

As they are private purchase would there be a price option when an officer was fitted out at the military tailor's?
Best quality at 2 guineas a pair Sir, Suits you Sir, or there's these at 3 bob a dozen. Rob |
