Hello All,
I followed this thread quite a while back and have taken on board all the comments made about the attributes of a genuine slidered Lincs Yeomanry badge,very informative they were too.
I bought this one on eBay recently in my quest for an original.I know the badge doesn't fit the criteria of what a good original badge should be,but I was intrigued by the length of the slider.
As can be seen by the rear view,it is long and tapering, much like the unvoided laurel example.The numbers stamped on the back hold no significance,but the badge is very solid and deeply struck, a lot more so than any modern copy i've seen,and as said,the long slider makes it a variant which I'm not familiar with.
Any opinions are welcome.
Cheers.
Alan
