Paul,
Absolutely nothing wrong with that badge, in my opinion (gloves off Andy! ) The better-quality photos show the lettering/font to be good; the presence of seeding to the base scroll; the detail to the shield/City arms possibly to be attributable to service/polish wear. I'd be more than happy to have it in my collection. Peter Last edited by Peter J; 26-10-12 at 05:45 PM. Reason: Changed the word 'crest' to 'arms'. |

I must admit the images do reflect better detail, but I'm still not 100% certain?

Thanks for the opinions gents. I'm happy enough with it now. I like the signs of original finish that show up with the pictures, and there is a blemish in the shield lower left quarter which matches the ones Wilf has in his album. Looks like one he has pictured has the slider fixed with lead. Also I have noticed the north-south/12o'clock-6o'clock spokes are slighly off centre as the other examples on the forum. The voids between the scroll ends and the leaves also match. I'll wait a bit for any more comment then put up the one I had from Bosleys. I have always had doubts on it -being flat and clean- but now I am thinking I may have judged it harshly. Regards, Paul.

Hi Paul,
The resolution of the photo now reveals it to be a genuine badge! |

I saw it but assumed that it was a little dubious as it's so rare. My radar is getting too sensitive lately........

I could get one for around that price at a fair, ebay is supposedly for bargains. Have you got a genuine 2nd pattern Rangers ?

Is that the one with all battle honors on Keith, if yes the answer is I use to have but sold it last year.

And yes I agree on the bargains, but Ebay being over here is my only real source as there's no show's here to go to.

Well, I concentrate solely on the great war, and this pattern was post 1918-19. Plus, as always, needing to supply the war chest. Sorry mate. At least it went to a forum member.
