Considering Getting - Good or Bad???
 

Gentlemen, I am considering these two badges and would value your thoughts - good or repro/fake. Sorry do not have pictures of the backs.

Cambridgshire with the missing E

Thank you!!!

The WRAC is OK, but the Cambridgeshire has been repro'd to death.

Rear photos essential.

Totally agree with Simon .

Thank you gentlemen. I'll go for the WRAC and pass on the Cambridgshire one.

Cambs without the "E"
 

I'm afraid I don't agree about the Cambridgeshire badge being faked, the ones that I have seen that I am not keen on have the "E" in the title, has this one without the "E" been faked to death?

The badge with the missing "E" first appeared in 1940 when the 1st Btn were stationed at Weeting Hall in Norfolk in 1940, a day or so after issue they were recalled and sent to the newly formed Home Guard and were also worn by the cadet force, they are quite plentiful around here which you would expect in Cambridgeshire, my Father-in-laws sits on a photo of him, one that never got re-issued and came home.

I agree that all badges put up for inspection should have a photo of the reverse before an exact verdict can be given.

I'll see if I can get a picture of the reverse of both of them, and if so will post them.
