Wiltshire Regiment (Duke of Edinburgh’s) [Early]

[hagwalther]

Hi Guys,

Here is an example of a dodgy Wiltshire Regiment (Duke of Edinburgh’s) [Early] cap badge that is noted on page 147 of Anodised Aluminium: The 'No Bull' Cap Badge of the British Army, Chapter 15: Fakes and Reproductions.

Note the modern slider more commonly associated with the London Badge & Button Co Ltd.

Also note the small ‘J.R.GUANT LONDON’ marking which appears to have been applied BEFORE anodising and colour dying which is a bit of a worry.

Regards

Chris
