Good Evening Roger,

The 27th Lancers badge isn't right for the following reasons. The elephants head has a flat appearance and the markings on the trunk go too high up. The tusks are straight and should curve slightly outwards, the left hand one, as viewed, being the longest. There should also be defined eyeballs.

I'm not an expert on sliders but the one attached to the badge does look suspect compared to other known original Firmin produced 27L head dress badges in that it is too wide.

All good wishes,

Peter
