Hugely faked. However the original badges for all 3 battalions came form the same die which had 3 distinct 'tells'
1. Furry back. 2. Bearded chin. 3. 3 jewels in the collar. The cap badges were bought by the Battalion in 1915 and issued to the Pals along with a single scroll version. They were not supplied by the Army who take over supply in 1916. |
