latest Winnipeg Rifles
 

Hi All,

would like to offer up my latest 2 purchases up for discussion.

first up - a blackened brass - no maker mark.

second - error motto type in what appears to be bronze with 2 unusual features - unvoided between devils back leg and numeral 3, and maker stamped twice. The bottom stamp is missing first and last ' T ' from tiptaft. has anyone seen a similar badge before ? Double stamped because of first stamp error ?

Any info much appreciated, Mark

Interesting, never seen that unvoided feature before.

It looks like an error/unfinished badge. The badge should be voided .

All:
You would wonder why they carried on and stamped the maker mark(s), and attached the lugs when clearly the stamping was not quite correct.....

Many thanks for replies. Bill - that was my thoughts exactly - an error badge. Didn't void and didn't get stamped correctly, so tried again and survived being scrapped ! Or was issued anyway ? If the badge could tell the story...
