Good Morning . We found this , what I would determine to be , crossbelt
plate in an antique shop . We were trying to locate a good photo of this regiment , not much luck on-line . Also, as to how this fastened onto the belts with the 4 lugs . Thank You . Robert. |
As to whether it is original or not, I can't say; however it certainly looks good.
The lugs were attached to the belt through slots, just like button holes. CB |
Its a common ebay fake.

Well, there you have it. Badges and plates from this period are almost invariably fake, which is why I have never have never felt comfortable to make a purchase.

I don't believe its original either.

Considering we only paid 15$ CDN for it , it's no great loss .
I'm not going to shed any tears over it . Forget it , move on . |
There are 4 common plates of this type which were originally produced for the 1968 Charge of the Light Brigade film.
Hugely copied since and 99.5% of therm are copies of copies. Should be able to pick them up for about $6 each direct from India. |
These have been appearing since at least the 1970s.
