Exclamation Lugged Ww1 Economy Badges - Thoughts Please

Hi fellas,

I'm just on the look out for you opinions on lugged '16 all brass economy issues. I've seen many over time most commonly I'd say E. Lancs and S. Lancs (PoWOV) but occasionally RWF and Devons etc.

In my opinion I've never really seen one of these badges which were produced in a slider dominated era that was totally convincing, does anyone own such examples they are sure are genuine or visa versa, would it be possible to conclude '14 infantry lugged economy issues are all wrong uns?

An example is this E. Lancs listing on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EAST-LANCASHIR...ayphotohosting - the lugged one looks iffy on the back like it may have been chemically aged, as opposed to the more orthodox long ww1 slider seen on its accomplice.

Cheers for any input/opinions ,

Luke
