Hi Paul
Good to be here, and thank you for directing me to the Forum – I’ve already learnt quite a bit and it’s good that the members here seem just as helpful and friendly as those on the Great War one. Yes it would be really helpful to see pictures of other verifiably authentic First World War Leicestershire cap badges from members’ collections, as well as any scans of actual badges taken from period photographs? The more examples I can see the better idea I will have of what is a genuine original Great War badge and what isn’t. Certainly Jeanpit’s example is just the ticket! So here’s hoping to see more over the coming weeks.
Regards
Martin
