Alan,
Playing devils advocate, does it necessarily need to have sweat holes to be genuine? I thought the 27th was a second world war raised unit... I may be wrong as cavalry isn't my thing and I left my books in Wales. But dating from that period manufacturing techniques could get by without braze holes, or was there only one specific maker of the badge being cavalry (hence small numbers) and the manufacturer of that die used sweat holes still?
Cheers,
Luke
