NIH WW2 Beret badge & Ayrshire Yeo'
Couple of new finds I need some help with.
North Irish Horse WW2 Beret Badge - Front North Irish Horse WW2 Beret Badge - Back Ayrshire Yeomanry - Front Ayrshire Yeomanry - Back These two were picked out of a box that seemed to be mostly fake but with enough genuine badges to keep you interested. Comments and opinions appreciated. Tony Last edited by Man-at-Arms; 19-05-13 at 12:48 PM.

The fact that the lions beard is not cut away from the head is not a good sign. This is the last pattern of the badge before the a/a version. The restrikes all share this same unvoided beard feature with the a/a badge. I would much rather see the cut out version.

Tony, here's one I picked up a few weeks back, I don't know of its a genuine example, but when compared to yours, I think I'd prefer yours any day, the details are much better.
That's not to say yours is genuine because I don't know. Regards Tony.

Thanks for the replies gents.
Alan - I wasn't confident about the Ayrshire Yeo'. The badge is completely unfamiliar to me. I usually chuck these back even if they look OK. I had some doubts about the slider and the detail around the eye looked poor. The badge has a pleasing design and the depth of strike is good, which is why I took a chance. Tony - If the NIH is fake it's a worryingly good one. The detail is excellent particularly the face of the angel. Nothing obvious, I can see, to count against it but that's not saying much.
