Hertfordshire yeomanry
Hello! I am reading threads trying to learn about british badges and I have seen a really beautiful one, the hertfordshire yeomanry!...but I read too that there are thousand copies of this badge...I don't know if is a scarce and expensive badge or a common one...so I have been searching in here (none for sale) and out there (a lot of!!)...what do you think about these three examples? Not expensive and really beautiful...but legit? Thanks!

The badges you show are not Herts Yeomanry.
That type I believe features in Cox’s book and is spuriously attributed to a Junior Division OTC, if I recall correctly. However his attribution has been called into doubt. Personally I would not buy any badge from that die and regard them all as modern, post 1970s manufacture. There are several helpful threads showing members Herts Yeo badges, Orasot is the forum’s resident Herts aficionado as has several lovely examples. My personal preference with Herts Yeos are for the Woodward made ones or those found on the long slim slider often with a ‘grey’ coloured braze. You won’t go far wrong with an example of either of those. |
I think you are talking about the badge with short antlers. Right? The one of the picture I found posted in another thread...

I would certainly be very keen to see any original Great War period examples if any members have them.
|
These are all fakes made in huge numbers. The design is one based on a post war officers' badge design. The brass ones are all (and I mean all) fakes.
|
What a pity...because they are pretty nice ...well...as always, really happy for asking here...thanks a lot for your usefull help!

Could you clarify that, are you saying the badges in the original post are all fakes, or, are you saying that the Hertfordshire Yeomanry never actually worn the badge in GM?

That Normandy photo is interesting, looks very similar to the RV/Berkamstead School badge.

The badge on the beret in the photo has a different and deeper water base. Not to be confused with the fake badges in question. Almost looks like a collar badge?

This badge.

Okay, so are both the example KK1448 and those gilding metal Woodward marked examples completely spurious then?
