Its the crap lugs that make me jumpy on these. The 16th Waikato Regt and the 14th Otago Regt badges in my collection have them too and I would not be happy putting them with the rest of my 1st NZEF collection when I eventually mount them.

Have you got any plans to put an album on here?
I really don't think any one copying badges would be bothered going to the effort of faking infantry badges like the 16th & 14th .The market is flooded with the originals as it is ($15 -$20 NZ).I have seen NZ Mounted Rifles regiments faked ,but they are poor quality cast ones..Post pictures of the badges and have them assessed by one of the experts(not refering to myself by any means)
