Default All Brass economy Bedfordshire Badges, Lugged Good?

Hi All, Just a quick question about the: Bedfordshire Economy All Brass Badges, Are all the voided badges with lugs on good or bad?

Thanks for any help that you can give me.
Mick.

Hi Mick,
Sounds like a fake badge if it’s got lugs/ loops should have a slider only

Hi Gerard, Just as I though in this case it should be the slider version in (1916) onwards only for this type of badge.

Thanks again, Mick

Would it be too big for a WWI era OSD collar badge?

Hi Mick,
Sorry to say I agree with your assessment. I wouldn’t have any of these in my collection.

Luke

Hi Gerard, I can't remember which dealer/s sold me them!
Any way I probably got them over five or more years ago as good Genuine Badges.

But thanks for the Confirmation. Luke H / Gerard,

Hello Simon, As you know I cannot say on here.
But they all came from the: Bedford Arms Fair & Bushey Arms/Medal Fair.
