Haha, I see my English wasn't too good. The "resent" post I mentioned was your post and it did give me some confidence that my badge would be good.

Thanks for taking time to help out.

Cameronians and Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire

How do these look?

I saw the resent post on the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire badge and noticed that the slider on my badge hangs down a little lower.

Thanks in advance.

Great discussion. I take from it that it is best to avoid badges with ENGLAND on the slider.

Durham & Somerset Light Infantry

How do these look?

I think I read a post that said the ENGLAND slider is a bad sign (maybe a replacement slider at best).

The little Norfolk badge was deemed a fake when I asked about it almost five years ago, now.

Gordon Highlanders Without Broken Antlers

The first Gordon Highlanders badge I got looked nice (got the thumbs up from members of this site), but was broken (I can't remember now if I knew that when I bought it - probably not).

Thank you for the comments. I am in a situation where if I see a British badge on my list I buy it and hope for the best. It's always good to shorten the list.

Seaforth Highlander WWII 2nd Attempt

This badge seems to have many variations. I first one I obtained (and identified as a fake on this site) is flimsy compared to the second one.

Is the second time a charm, maybe a Pictou...

7 inch King's Crown

Picked this up at a yard sale years ago and thought now was an appropriate time to bring it out. Can anyone shed any light onto which kind of structure would have had this crown attached to it?

Ontario Reform Institutions

Don't know anything about these institutions. Reform schools I thought were for youths, but they would have been rather scary places if guards were walking around looking like soldiers. The uniform...

Sorting Mail

I don’t know much about the Canadian Postal Corps, but it would appear that each branch had their own offices. Everyone seems to be members of the RCAF.

Who would wear the Postal Corps badge?

Hi Jerry, my guess was based on the Labour Corps being pressed into combat as infantry during the German offensives of 1918 and not knowing the extent of the disability.

Thanks for the comments.

CB, I don't know if it makes any difference, but the badge came from the U.K about eight years ago.

This Black Watch badge looks much better than the Highlander badge I posted yesterday. Judging from the crown it would be a real stretch to have someone wearing it...

Thanks for the reply Luke H.

When you say "later" for the Irish badge would that mean one of...

Glasgow Highlanders and Royal Ulster Rifles

These badges are suspect. What do the members think?

Glasgow Highlanders has very little detail on the back and I don’t recall seeing lugs that that were this coppery before.

Royal Ulster...
