Young Citizens Volunteer Corps 14Th Bn RIR
I have this badge listed on eBay, I have had a question with regard to the crown being narrow from a collector of over 30yrs. A couple of friends have seen this badge and give it the thumbs up. I do not want to sell fakes There have been offers/interest on it which I have ignored but that is still no guarantee.
If anyone has any opinion positive or negative it would be greatly appreciated Thanks Paul

Paul,
Its not one I would buy. I dont like the metal, the patina nor the proportions. I would seek further opinions though. regards

Thanks Simon,
To add to my confusion The person who posed the question about the badge has sent a further message saying he has only seen one other similar a few years ago and he will be bidding on it. I will await any further opinions and make a decision wether to remove it or not Paul

I have posted on this type before- it has a blob or distortion on the left of wrist as viewed. I bought one as an example at Farnham a few years ago and it was sold as a copy/restrike. They are not as common as the usual copies but have cropped up on ebay now and then and some have made good money. My one had a copper like slider. I'm no Irish expert but it is not a version I would buy as original. Regards, Paul.
