I ask because the OSD next to it is identicle and it would rule that one out as being a viable badge.

Hi Griff,
The A/A badge has a slider that has been found on a lot of other badges deemed to be dodgy. I have not gone through the trail back to the the source yet though. However, saying that I do have a very common Prince of Wales Own regt of Yorkshire badge with a
similar looking slider and I cannot think why someone would want to reproduce this item. However, (again), I have not been able to compare the two 'in hand'.
re: the two badges - they are totally different and have come from different dies.
e.g. the lower ends of the feathers touch the scroll on the A/A badge while the on the other badge the feathers are well away from it. Also the shape of the crown sides is very different etc. etc.
Regards
Chris
