Apologies for the late reply. I think the background and lighting is making the colour pop a bit more but it does seem to have a gilt coating. It’s not as bright as some other badges I have, but I...

Picked this up today on a whim. Has anyone ever seen an unvoided West India Regiment cap badge or did I make a (fortunately inexpensive) mistake?

Picked this up today for my fledgling New Zealand collection. I believe it’s a wide banner version of the 9th Mounted Rifles cap badge but I’m quite thrown by the file marks on the slider. Anyone...

Thoughts on this one? Gift from my in-laws, I’m not sold on it but it’s not my area of expertise. Happy either way, thought that counts and all.

Thoughts on Strats badge
Hi all, I picked this Strats badge up from a dealer recently, I believe it’s a good CEF era badge but I’m not an expert on these and am looking for a second opinion.

Any thoughts on this one? I like the voiding and the reinforcements but not the heavy edges on the back.

I’ve noticed the same with them - generally have more faith in their Canadian stuff but I’ve noticed a lot of suspect British badges.

Got this in a lot today, anyone ever seen one like it? My first thought is a fantasy badge, but for what? I’m surprised it’s Scully marked.

Picked this up today for my WW2 RAC display. It was cheap enough that I’m happy with it just as a placeholder, but any change it’s real for 107 Regt RAC?

Cast RMR?
Picked this up cheap from a fuzzy picture on eBay, front looks nice but the back looks cast. My first thought is usually fake but why bother fake this? Anyone seen one similar?
