Default 5th. Mahratta Light Infantry. Cast copy hallmark.

Good evening.

Just in case any Member is thinking of dipping their toe into the collecting of hallmarked silver badges, then a word of advice may be of assistance: avoid this item on Ebay 271207426068.

It is clearly a cast copy. Look and learn.

Enjoy.

S.T.

And no, I will not be bidding to add it to my rogue's gallery.

Hello S.T,

I don't collect hallmark badges, so for the uninitiated please explain your rationale.

nasty back finishing, poor definition of hallmarks, and the seller?
