Your badge in post #4 is fine Paul.

Thanks Luke!

Thank Luke. I think my badge in post 4 of the old thread may be 'related' to Andy P's 1st badge, perhaps the 'hatching' was a detail only visible on earlier examples of that variation? I'll pick your brains on the 3rd patt. sometime. Cheers, Paul.

Yes yours is the same as Andy P’s first badge in his post and mine below. It’s perfectly genuine.

Taking stock so far:

Bad:
4 and 5th Bat Royal Scots (CB)

Good:
Lovat ww1-era (in Yeomanry thread)
Tyneside

Divided opinions:
Cameron (Good: Dubaiguy and Luke, Bad: CB)
5th Bat Seaforth cast badge (Good:Alex, Others hesitant)

No opinions expressed:
All other

Further opinions very much welcomed. Thanks!

How are you? I would very much welcome some second opinions on those 11 badges that have not had any opinions expressed on them. Thanks!

I personally don't like that Cameron type, I cant say its wrong, I just like versions with better feet- for me he fails foot inspection. Seaforth good 3 lug WWI type-missing a lug? The Kings Liverpool Scottish looks a nice example-2 parts placed well together. Regards, Paul.

Thank you Paul. I will err on the side of caution with the Cameron and return that one. Should not be hard to find an example that is less controversial.

Seaforth is indeed missing a lug but cheap.

Liverpool Scottish is indeed a beautiful badge and thanks for confirming that because I really want to keep all those that are good and hope that I do need to send back any good badges just because these did not get a 2nd opinion.

Much appreciated!

Whilst the Seaforth is certainly missing a lug, I suspect it is a little older than it might appear.

QVC on the HLI? Regards, Paul.

Yes indeed Queen Victoria Crown.
