Pretty confident that this Guards Machine Gun Battalion cap badge is genuine but I'd just appreciate the views of the forum before I offer it for sale.

Thanks in advance

I think this type has a noticeable blunt end slider and a fault under point of the round at 10 o'clock from the rear. I also think its OK. Regards, Paul.

Just to bring up an old thread, was this Guards MG Battalion badge ever made as a voided version?

Thanks,

The OR's one was solid and in w/m. That has not stopped fakers voiding them or enamelling them or striking them in brass.
