Chaps,

Following an earlier thread I would ask for people to post any pictures they have of 1916 economy badges with either the Wooward mark or any non Woodward ASC or East Surrey badges.

I have photographed my ASC and ESurreys with what I know to be 100% genuine Essex regt badge for comparison. The Woodward ones are both yellower metal and in pristine condition. However these are sold by well known dealers as genuine otherwise I wold be even more suspicious of them. Indeed the 1916 Woodward Inniskillings goes for a large sum and yet it exhibits all the traits of my 2 Woodward badges.

I have never seen a non Woodward ASC or ESurrey so if some one has one then I would love to see it. The East Surrey is just the sort of complicated overlaid badge that should have had an economy version.

Thanks

Alan
