Queens Royal Regiment / West Surrey Regiment badges - real or fake?
Dear all,
Hope all is well.
Please could someone advise as to whether these badges might be genuine or fake if at all possible?
I have labelled them both A and B in the photos.
Badge A - this looks like a copy to me as it appears like it was recently made, however I might be mistaken.
Badge B - this looks to be more genuine in my opinion.
There are subtle differences between the badges, for example, the halo on badge B is smaller than the one on badge A, the length of the flagpoles are different on each, brazing on badge B looks fresh and done in copper whereas badge A's brazing looks like it was done a long time ago - these differences can be seen in the photos.
Any feedback / advice on the authenticity of these badges would be much appreciated.
Many thanks and best regards
