Suspect Uppingham OTC badge
Ticker,
I'm afraid I'm going to muddy the water more, but here goes.
I've checked all my Uppingham OTC badges and none, bar one, show the Leicestershire stamping. The one that does is the OTC version with the laurels replacing Hindoostan.
Upon checking my 2 piece bi-metal Leics Regt badges I found that none of them (Regular or TA) have the Leicestershire reverse stamping either. To compound this they all have braze holes.
I do have Uppingham OTC in some very strange colours, including one with braze holes that is bronzed with a cleaned GM Uppingham scroll!
My conclusion- that none of my badges appear to be the basis for the OTC badge; that my OTC with laurel may now be suspect; I may have to find OTC badges with Leicestershire stampings 'just in case'; OTC badges were a rule unto themselves.
Does anyone have a Leicestershire Regt badge with the Leicestreshire reverse stamping?
Regards, Stephen.
