That was a suggestion re. this Meer Jones poster which also portrays the exotic such as the Middlesex Footballers.

Agree.

There was no cap badge sized Middlesex Footballers until relatively recently. I’ve been told the name of the man (dealer) who commissioned it and it was certainly not a Mr William Thomson of Glasgow. Older sweetheart sized/style badges do exist.

No MGC cap badge exists of the design shown either. For me W.L. Thomson falls into the same bracket as Meer & Jones and to an extent Gamages.

The Canadian collectors will be able to tell you the CEF cap badge repros are mostly recent (post 1970s), a significant proportion are also maker marked e.g. Roden Bros, Scully, Tiptaft, Gaunt, Hobson etc. so we know who made those. And I believe I’m right in saying for certain Battalions there was only one die.

This is not the smoking gun for some cap badge equivalent to Fox restrikes.
