Manchester 1st V.B.

[Dave S]

Could anyone tell me if this badge is real and give advice as to what to look for in the original manchester v b badges

[Luke H]

Very fake.

There are several good Manchester threads. If you search ‘Manchester’ and ‘Volunteer’ in the forum’s search engine they should come up.

I think this one is genuine.

Certainly a genuine example.

As is this one: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ctureid=183279

The badge in the opening post is a FAKE.

Lots of pointers, colour, font, mark under the 1VB and the footed loops.
