Hi Paul
Glad to hear you too think my latest acquisition seems to be authentic, and that you feel likewise about the Lambourne D.C.L.I. one as well. I’m afraid I don’t have a picture of the back of the Loos badge, and the gentleman who sent the photo to me could not explain the red discolouration on the badge – as neither can I!!. It was the lugged Leicestershire badge that sold for just under £46.00, it was listed as First World War but as it was in South Africa I think it’s more likely to have been Boer War, don’t you? Yes, Northamptons’ badges are on my list - I am restricting myself to the regiments that family served in during the Great War and after, and it was my wife’s grandfather who was a regular in the Northamptonshire Regiment. Anyway, many thanks for confirming what I was thinking about the collar badges and buttons, I think I need to look into things a bit more before I start on the shoulder titles. By the way, can you point me in the direction of any good threads on the Forum about slider design at all?
Regards
Martin
