Dean,
I don't like your 24th Lancers "officers" one. The one I have is
silvered, your's looks more like WM. Its also in the BABF cavalry
projects album.
The rear is also wrong - there is hardly any dimpling on the rear.
I won't post a pic of the rear of mine - it only helps the forgers.
If you email me, I'll send you a pic of the back of mine and it is
a) exactly as described in Peters book and b) the pic is a better
"description" than using words. A pic of the front is in my WRU
album.
You are right about the 24th S/G/E one, the enamelling won't last
5 minutes if its been die-struck, it should be cast and is a much more
solid badge.
David
