Thought so, Thanks

Lots of these around, sadly, often sold as what they are though, hope you did not pay much for it!

Didn't buy it. I had my suspicions about it. The scroll didn't ring true

Frank Kelley 06-03-21 01:03 PM

Very fortunate, was it being offered as original?

Original WW2 WWII The Leinster Regiment
I have a collection of real Hussars and the like and it just didn't ring out as real

Another one I think is a re stamp, but much better quality

Most genuine examples will have four sweat holes (two on the coronet and two on the title scroll) you would expect to pay 30-40 quid for one.

This one is spare following my recent badge sorting.

I’d let it go for £30 inc. UK signed-for postage if interested.

They are very common, where have you actually been looking, if ebay, the majority are completely spurious?
