British Cavalry Badges 1914

The 17th/21st Lancer Motto ....... do the eyes go back into sharp points? or are they "smoothed over" or does the right eye have a blemish in it that looks like a "wink"? Its a later type "FIRMIN" ...... this is the one that has been very repro'd. BTW This one is not 17th Lancers (1914)..... if its good it will be 17th/21st Lancers circa 1930s onwards.

Correct "FIRMIN" 17th Lancers circa 1914 :-



The 1st Royal Dragoons looks ok
