Lincolnshire Regiment bladed OSD cap badge restrike

[mooke07]

Hi all,

One to watch - the OSD version of the Sphinx and Lincolnshire scroll cap badge of the pre-1946 era of the Lincolnshire Regiment is a star pattern badge in bronze (same style if you will of K&K 1957), please see my Lincolnshire album. This replaced early star pattern versions in silver and gilt and were in turn replaced with silver and gilt Royal Lincolnshire forage cap badges (K&K 1958).

I have a variant in bronze which looks ok with a cast scroll and lugs (subject of a previous post and maybe a variant) but the one below looks an inferior die struck pattern in thin bronzed coloured metal with blades. This is a restrike badge from the bimetal Lincolnshire dies (K&K 600).

Beware they are out there.

Cheers Dean.
