Hi Luke,
I’ve offered my opinion before on this type of badge when we discussed the BB badge to the 7th & haven’t changed my opinion. I’m not a fan of this type of heavy block lettering and don’t have it on any of the 19 ORs examples I have in my collection, not including those that are attributed and with the medal groups for my Cardiff Pals collection. The only time I have seen this type of lettering before is on the assumed to be spurious BB 7th offerings that regularly crop up.
One other pointer I have now noted is that the central cross on the crown sticks up above the fluer de lis emblems which is also unique to this badge & doesn’t occur on any of the others that I have.
So it’s a no for me.
Hwyl
Kevin
