1st Btn Lancashire Volunteers Cap Badge
I realise these are massively faked. I have got some. But I recently acquired this one. It does not resemble any of the "100% Genuine" ones on Ebay and other sites.
Any info would be much appreciated, even if it is to tell me it is duff. Also has anyone got an image of a known good one please for comparison. The main differences are: 1. Slider 2. No S in Volulteer(S) 3. Large gap between 47 & A 4. The Band of the crown has alternative Diamonds and Rectangles and two rows. Most others have Hollow diamonds and Ovals in a single row. 5. The edge of the crown is sharp, no casting left. 6. The Lancashire Rose is smaller 7 Slight crease mark at the bend of the Slider. I cannot find another like this one. There is wear to the high spots which I believe is age rub wear. The last photo is of a known fake. Many thanks Last edited by Smudger 53; 16-09-20 at 12:49 PM. |

Smudger,
As Luke says, 100% genuine; a beauty! If you search on "VTC" in Albums, you'll find a couple of albums of mine that feature this badge. The first is VTC badges that feature in "K&K", and the other illustrates the differences between genuine VTC badges and "Common Fakes". Best regards, Tim |
