Two Gaels
I have this pair of badges from the exact same die, voided and unvoided. The lugs are the same gauge thinner wire with rectangular feet seen on many earlier badges, which I think may be unique to a particular maker?
I don't know how voiding was achieved if made from the same die as the other, unless they were able to make two identical dies, one voided and one not? Again, I am of the belief that unvoided Gaels badges were in currency well beyond their supposed obsolescence. I believe this also likely applied to tail up or down as well. CB

The badge would be the same if from the same die set, just not having the voiding/piercing operations done on one.

I don't believe they are from the same die.
Two very obvious and noticeable differences: The Boars heads are very much different from each other. The cat on the right hand badge is a lot thinner than that on the left hand badge. Regards. Brian |

It would be nice if you could state the regiment's name in your subject and first post to facilitate searches.

Well, ba gum, the closer I look on these enlarged photos with my old eyes, I must agree that they are actually not from the same die! Good eyes gents.

If you searched Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (until I wrote it here) this thread would not be amongst the results. However I also appreciate the need for a catchy title and/or humour on occasion to generate interest. Ultimately so long as the name of the regiment or purpose is included in at least one post within the thread it will register in searches even if it may not be abundantly clear from the title what it contains… but (for me) that’s part of the fun exploring threads. Re the badges, as stated very similar but not same die. |
