Just my opinion, but i'm not too keen on the scroll ends or the feet of the lugs.

I hope you didn't do anything to hasty with your badge Dean? I know how keen some members are with a hammer

Is it the considered opinion on the forum that only the badges with the die flaw to the letter D are genuine ? I refer to the badges with the upper scroll.
Here are mine. One of which does not have the flaw. Also pictured my small size FS cap badges for the 1st and 4th VB's. |

My 3VB has the die flaw you mention.
I picked this one up a while back which would seem to be silver plated. Looks very similar to yours, although I have had it in the "pending" box since getting it. Last edited by Nozzer; 17-02-18 at 10:20 PM. |

The badges shown in post 1 of this thread had this flaw. Also one pictured in JD Sainsbury's book on the Herts Regt has it.

Hi Graham,
I think I may have confused the issue somewhat, sorry. As can be seen from the image below, I meant my w/m 3VB has the die flaw similar to my 1st Herts VB, but the plated 3VB I have shown in post #21 does not. Gaylor shows a 3VB which does not have the die flaw. Andrew Last edited by Nozzer; 17-02-18 at 10:20 PM. |

I can't comment on the badge in question but many TF wore badges in some orders of dress in 1908 that ceased to be worn in 1914. This was often the case for walking out dress which ceased to be worn in 1914. Also very few TF badges designs were authorised for issue after 1916 when the WD took over issue of badges from the TF Associations. So to summarise the 5th Bn may well have worn the standard bi-metal in khaki and only worn all w/m in walking out dress 1908-14. Alan |

That brings me on to my next question. I am wondering about the red felt backing on this badge. I have never come across any reference to it. |
