Default Royal Fusiliers, Tank Corps, RWF

Good evening. I'm relatively happy with these. The Tank Corps has been polished and may have a replacement slider? Opinions please

Regards

Martyn

Hi Martyn,
The RWF economy is not one I'd go for sorry.

Many thanks Kevin. Please could you tell me what is wrong with the RWF as I wish to learn about these.

All the best

Martyn,

Have a look in some of the albums available on the site, there are plenty of good examples for comparison.

I would get an expert opinion about the Royal Fusiliers. The front looks great but the rear looks poor and the slider has the appearance of artificial aging. When I see sliders like that it usually puts me off.
Cheers,
Alex

Good morning and thanks for looking. I forwarded the pictures to a friend of mine who sells cap badges and is a bit of an expert and he suggested that the Royal Fusiliers and Royal Welsh Fusiliers are correct but the Tank Corps badge is a fake.

Regards

Martyn
