Royal Munster and Lancashire

[Martyn123]

I think that the Munster is OK but the Lancashires is a re-lugged fake? Am I correct?

Many thanks

I am not sure why you think the QVC Loyals is a fake, apart from the fact that someone has re-lugged it N-S instead of E-W it looks OK to me.

Others may differ.

Many thanks Rob I wasn't sure about the lug arrangements but now realise that the lugs should be E - W. I originally thought that the lugs should be N - S and that someone had moved them to alter a fake badge.

Martyn,
The LNL looks fine, although it does look as though someone has applied heat to where the lugs had originally sat particularly to the West as you look at the badge which I think would indicate a more modern fix and they changed their mind where to put them.

Of course this could have been a sweetheart, with heat applied to remove old fittings.

Cheers Paul. It's a shame that somebody did that as it has devalued an otherwise genuine badge then?

Would you agree that the Munster is correct?

The RMF is ORIGINAL/CORRECT.

Many thanks for all of the comments.

I think they are both okay, but, you should certainly look for better examples, in particular, the LNL, the MF is just a little dirty.

Many thanks Frank I do have a ww1 period LNL but not another QVC so need to find another. As you say the Munsters needs s gentle clean.
