Cardiff Pals cap badge

Does anybody know whether this looks like a genuine Cardiff Pals cap badge? The definition to the rear isn't great, but the ageing looks genuine and the badge feels right in the hand. Possibly...

It was worth the bid. The other badges were nice, too, if a bit filthy.

Army Dental Corps plastic economy

Not unknown, but unlisted in Kipling & King, Gaylor, Wilkinson etc. - Army Dental Corps economy cap badge in light bronze plastic. Got this with a group of other WW2 badges from an old collection,...

Hi Gerard
That's what I thought, but it seems odd to make a fake that's quite a bit smaller than the original. It doesn't show the other signs of being a fake (that I know of), like extra lines on...

Bays Queen's crown

Any views on this badge, please? It's super-thick and impossible to bend, it has a strengthening bar behind the crown, but the crown is a bit odd.

Nelson badge

I have a slidered Nelson badge that is smaller than the normal badge and has a different font (straight 'N's and 'O'). No sign of removed lugs on the back, so it wasn't a collar. I've included...

Royal Scots a/a with blade fittings

I've just bought an anodised Royal Scots badge with OSD style blades on the back. I've never come across this before with a/a badges - is this usual? The badge is definitely a/a, though it feels a...

Brigade badges in a/a

If infantry brigades existed from 1958 to 1969, did a/a cap badges continue to be made after the brigades ceased to exist? I have a few brigade badges that are stamped Gaunt B'ham, but I understand...

Kings Regt

This Kings Regt badge has a brass horse over a WM scroll. I've not come across this combination before - anyone know if it's a fake fantasy badge?
Thanks,

Can anybody identify these badges? They're both quite thin metal.
Thanks

Glamorgan Imperial Yeomanry

I'd value your opinions on this Glamorgan IY badge. The badge's original owner seems to have stamped his name on the slider, but as a pre-1908 unit shouldn't there be sweat holes on the back? Thanks...

Economy or fake?

I'd really appreciate opinions on these "economy" badges. The East Lancs and Middlesex badges have quite a coppery colour to them. The others are more yellow in colour. The Border badge has lugs so...

Essex Regt

This badge was bought in the early 1990s. It has sweat holes and has the feel of a genuine badge (see pics), but has a 15mm J.R.Gaunt.London stamp on the slider. Everything I've read on the forum...

Can anybody identify this badge? I've not come across a KRRC badge like this without battle honours in K&K, Gaylor or Wilkinson, so hope somebody here can ID it. Any opinions on whether it's genuine...
