Thank you all for your suggestions.
If there is no-one who can submit a 100% genuine QVC Bays badge for testing, then the study will have to be comparative for each specimen tested. This will enable specimens to be categorised into likely relationships. I can use statistics to show this probability. I would like to to keep this initial study to the QVC Bays as otherwise the workload gets too big and might stagnate due to my own normal workload. |

This one is 100% "Pucker". More than happy to have it as the "Benchmark" as long as it does not get damaged!

That's good. The first one of the three is the same as mine, front and back.

In forensics, 100% pucker doesn't wash with the analyst until proven. It is unlikely because of the age and lack of provenance that anyone will have a benchmark specimen for the Bays. That's not a problem though, as I can still build statistical relationships between specimens tested. 29th April - Surprise surprise the instruments is U/S at the moment. Waiting for a specialist to fix it. Not sure how long that will take. Last edited by Rockape; 29-04-13 at 08:07 PM. Reason: update |

Badge elemental analysis
Hi all,
You may want to go back to my original thread http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...light=analysis where I used a similar elemental approach to do a comparative analysis of WM and GM badges. Certainly if the reference set is large enough it will be of interest. One does need to consider that different manufacturers would have used different elemental metal blends and it is not a black and white dating approach. It is not a bad approach as I originally showed but the degree of statistical variation between known genuine period badges would be the key. If one had say 20 QVC Bays all known to be authentic then that would be a great start. I certainly have at best two known to be genuine badges of any particular badge but if members pooled you might get there. But just one badge where a forebear replaced the original one with a badge of a different period and yet the owner truly believes it to be an original badge it will throw the whole study out potentially. I will await the results with keen interest and welcome the scientific approach, cheers Dean. |
