As I understand it the Footballers cap badge was commissioned by a dealer who is still with us. Very much within living memory and certainly not the 1920s.

I have never seen Middlesex Footballers...

I don’t think too much can necessarily be drawn from that poster, it is ultimately just a picture and doesn’t necessarily bear much resemblance to the cap badge de facto. Clearly a degree of artistic...

Sorry I cannot tell you when these we worn until due to not collecting OTCs. Perhaps Alan or another OTC collector can chip in? Do recall Alan saying it was very small, just 50 members in 1908.

The BB top right is genuine, as is the chromed one. Obviously the chromed badge would not have been worn like that in service as evident from the wear under the plating.

The QVC 4th Hussars is a good fake, I was nearly caught out by one a few years back. You’ll notice the lettering is ever so slightly rounded at the ends, seeding slightly coarse and the loops are...

Your badge is genuine and from the same die as other examples I’ve seen with the correct Lambourne mark.

If it’s too ‘rustic’ for you I’d be happy to take it off your hands as I have a bit of a...

Not a genuine 1916 all GM issue.

I believe there is a lot of debate about the GviR badges. My inclination is that they are Malta Fortress Royal Engineers from what I have read in other threads and also the number seen. Many examples...
