Thanks For The Education
To all who post here,
I want to thank all who post here and share their knowledge. This past weekend I attended a major military show in the US. There were 3 dealers with British cap badges and I bought from 2 of them. You can see one of my buys under British yeomanry. This dealer, to the best of my knowledge, had no bad insignia. After doing some quick, overnight, research on the forum I went ahead and bought the badge. The second dealer had at least 2 bad badges. The Guards Machine gun Battalion should have a slider, not lugs. He had 3 of them. At least the price was right for a reproduction, $15.00 USD. He also had a 22nd Dragoons which should be good as it was voided where it should be. $20.00 USD. The last dealer had a Leeds Pals with skinny legs and a 42nd NCO badge with "42" in the center all in white metal. It should be bi-metal and, besides, I already have one, but that's another story. He wanted $85.00 USD. I didn't bother with him. It was nice to be able to look with some confidence and do some quick research before buying.
With gratitude,
Don
