Default KDG WWI economy?
Hi All
Can I have some opinions on this please, picked it up today for a song. The colour isn't right but it may have been cleaned. The slider is the same as some good provenance WWI badges I have, so I'd like comments to see what the concensus is please. Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Alex

Alex,
as the Actress said to the Bishop "it's all in the length"!

Check this thread in particular posts #23 and #25.

Hi Andy
Thanks for the reply. Not sure if I missed something, but I'm not sure what length is being referred to in the posts that you put the link to, badge or slider? My badge is 37,5mm high and the slider is 36mm long. Is that ok?
Cheers,
Alex

Alex,
not a reference I would of used, however height (N-S) should be around 46/47 mm and width (E-W) 37/38 mm. If within these measurements it could be good?

Hi Andy
Just noticed my typo, the badge is 47.5mm high, not 37.5mm, so maybe it's good...
Cheers,
Alex

Alex,
although you cannot always be 100% certain when viewing images, your badge is certainly one I would keep hold of!
