Hello gentlemen,

I have a vested interest in this discussion in as much as I have several slidered, Scottish badges that are normally lugged and a couple of Guards badges that I believe are just slidered cap stars.

Normally whenever Pagri badges are mentioned, as in this debate, the emphasis is on the ' long ' slider, in my case I would like opinions on the fact that these badges are slidered with what I would call normal length sliders.

The Royal Scots Fusiliers is a little longer but it's a comparativelly larger badge, the Royal Scots and the KOSB's are shortish sliders ( for FSH's ) and the Highland Light Infantry is one that I have replaced the slider on, like for like.

None of these four show any signs of having had lugs previously and then being altered, my questions therefore, are they genuine Pagri badges with short sliders ? or are they perhaps copies/repros that have been fitted with sliders to make them more appealing to the unwary buyer ?? in this case me !

Your thoughts please gentlemen.

Dave.
