Default Royal Welch Fusiliers

Hi Gents,

Two different RWF for your perusal and opinions.
The first has blowholes but the second is completely smooth.

Thanks

Kevin

Just from the photographs, I would say both are original and very typical.

I would not be unhappy with either, the R Welsh F was also made without a hole to the reverse and the example you show appears to have been worn and has some age to it.
