Default Small lot, your opinion, please!
Hi,
I bought this small lot in a fair! I don't like the Connaught Rangers and I have a doubt on the Manchester. Not sure on the other.
All comments are welcome!
Thanks.
Luidgi

Luidgi,
I'm not a fan of the CR with non-voided strings but the others look fine! The Manchesters and King's OSD are VERY NICE!

I dont suppose we`ll ever see one of these non voided Manchesters without either the shield ridge or the alternate flaw.

I would prefer to see the Beds collar with voided legs. The Mancs badge is a lovely example and sells for a premium price due to mis-identification as a Mancs Pals badge.

I'm intrigued by the King's OSD ! It is clearly cast from an Other Rank's bimetal cap badge of a type that dates from the middle of the 1st WW. The "normal" type of KLR OSD of the 1896 pattern is as - or similar to - that shown in my avatar.
Nevertheless, it looks well made !?
