Default Northamptonshire collars

Not too difficult to confuse. An unmatched pair similar in all aspects except the crowns, obviously.
Both may well have been struck in close proximity to each other, considering that both are g/m. 2 loops to rears.

No, if you look at every detail all over, they are definitely from different dies.

I would have concerns on the font used on the right hand / KC example- looks similar to that used on some duff badges. Regards, Paul.
