Just from the photograph, I would have thought it was of recent manufacture and completely spurious.

Afternoon.
Didn't Edward VIII wear a similar looking badge, and if he did then you could probably guarantee that it was a high quality Royal jeweller made badge, so maybe where this one came from as sure other high ranking officers would have followed his lead. Only a thought. Ta Jonathan |

I very much doubt that it’s a copy. It is being sold with other items that belonged to an officer in the WG. The quality is top notch and way above that of most reproductions.
Yes I know there are good repro’s such as the officer’s GMG, one of which I have, but we have seen these come up more than once. Has anyone ever seen another of this type and quality? |

I was looking at a Grenadier Guards one yesterday. Very similar to the one shown.
