Hi,

A badge from a friends collection, the slider looks like it has been repaired and is offset. Opinions would be welcome.

Repaired!!!!

This must have been repaired or made after a very heavy drinking session, I have never seen a slider so offset . . !

Rob,

Thanks for your reply, yes it is a bit of a lash up!

Do you think, despite the bad repair, that the badge is good?

I don't think it has been repaired just badly positioned.

Kevin, I can't see anything untoward with your badge apart from the slider being badly positioned, bear in mind this badge was produced only during the Great War.

Good badge. Made after a pub lunch perhaps!

Kevin, Maybe quality control had also been down the pub.

Alan, Rob and Luke,

Thanks one and all, so a good badge with a bit of character and yes I also think that a pint or two may have been involved.

Regards

Probably made by a another frustrated horse and cart driver - wear that then and cycle two abreast.........................!
