Worcestershire Regiment - Blank Firm Scroll

I seem to recall these Worcestershire Regiment badges with the erased Firm scroll being discussed on here a few times previously.

Was a conclusion reached as to who wore this blank scroll version?...

I believe what you have there Leigh is a badge made from a cast of an OSD badge. You can see the scars on the reverse from the blade on the original badge used to create the mould. Note how it’s lost...

Indeed it is a repro. Jeremy Tenniswood flogs this type with the very deep set tablet border for tenner a go.

I would also echo the comments on the Irish Guards badge.

Courage mon ami! I’m sure we both will one day though a combo of eBay, persistence, luck and time.

Tantalising your timing co-insides with a similar badge selling on eBay recently for £26.04. It was not in my opinion a genuine WW2 badge, but I’m no expert.

Paul,

Would it be possible to send me a close up please for my notes as I don’t recall seeing a Firmin marked badge before.

Cheers,

I think you should wind your neck in.

If you look at my Martin Marsh catalogues you’ll see I define restike as a badge from an original die produced later outside its period of west.

The one on the left of the trio (link 3) is very clearly a different die with a flaw above the B rather than the R.

WM badge is genuine the BB is the common fake. Like Keith said I’d have those collars as RIC/RUC rather than 18th.
