Default 36th Ulster Division ''Dixie'' Badge

I have been offered a 36th Div Dixie badge with two lugs east and west with a Belfast makers details to the reverse. I have photos (not digital )so I am unable to post. I apologies up front for dragging this subject up again I know it has been discussed before. Having searched the Forum I have found some useful info relating to copies, die faults to look out for. What I can't locate is a back and front of an original badge and the back and front of the best quality copy or that with the die fault. Would any 36th expert indulge me with some good quaility pics.

Many thanks

Mark

Sadly not an expert but I have posted front and back pics of a known genuine badge. I know it is genuine as it came from a late family member along with his UVF badge. Unfortunately I had to have it re-lugged as it had a broken brooch fastening so please don't go by the lugs on this one but at least you may be able to pick up some clues from the rest of the badge.

Hi Mark

I lay no claims to being an expert in any field of this hobby but, as Andy is wont to say, I believe this one is 99.999% genuine.

I stand to be corrected. Apologies for the quality of the scan.

Best wishes

Gordon
