17TH LANCERS AND LOVAT'S

[LONGSHANKS]

Hi all, just wanted to ask as AA isn't my thing; would you say this one is OK and also the Lovat's. Looks nice and sharp but I know faked extensively.

Thanks

Simon.

G'day Simon

The motto looks to be ok but it cant be a 17th Lancers can it ? It has to be either a 17th / 21st Lancers or QRL. Does it have a makers name on the slider ??

Regards

Phil.

The Lovat's is a restrike I am afraid. It comes from a well known fake die.

Yes, sorry; I should have said 17th/21st. As I said, not my thing. They are being sold together and would have sold the motto on anyway.

I was looking more at the Lovat's, but I have a split vote on that one.....

I'll see what the day brings with any other comments.
