I have read all regards TI on thread. This has been valuable in my research of great uncle who died on first day of somme.
A couple of questions:
What NF cap badge was used seen two one with narrow plumes one with wide.
Secondly any reputable dealers to buy original badges from. Would like 26, badge,NF to display alongside his Victory medal

Single metal, wide flames-Not the later Royal badge. Regards, Paul.

Not sure about the ST-was it just number over Tyneside Irish harp? Not sure if that was over an NF. Regards, Paul.

Many thanks for this. Have found an original Tyneside collar badge with Reid & Co Newcastle upon Tyne on rear of Harp. It is priced at £110 which i think is a bit steep do you agree

This looks the best thread. So, number harp NF. Regards, Paul. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...shoulder+title

I got lucky with mine in 2014. Then the opinion was around £75 for a Reid shoulder title harp. As its for a family project and not just to add to a collection, I would understand you considering the badge you mention. Regards, Paul. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...tyneside+irish

Do you think about right or is it overpriced. Would like an original but may have to go for repro as they are about £35.

Do you think it is overpriced. Would prefer original but if not would have to settle for repro i guess
