Can you put up pictures of the bottom (looking up the badge) and of the back looking across from side to side, please?

I have no opinion on the badge illustrated
but I can tell you that the WO ordered 10,000 all GM Skins badges in April 1916.


So there must be some real ones out there !

My advice would be to seek the type made by Woodward if you want an undoubtedly original badge. These come with both marked and unmarked sliders.

Geoff Newman recently sold a lovely example: http://www.gnmilitaria.co.uk/viewpho...h=22571&phqu=2

As you can see the flame shape is distinctive as is the castle.

Lovely RMF. The Leinster wasn’t made by Woodward but a version was made by Lambourne, these are found marked both Lambourne & Co and Lambourne’s.

I have a Woodward example as well. They must account for the vast majority of these badges.
I must say that they made somewhat crude badges compared to many. I also have a ww1 Northumberland Fus. by them ( and a few others), and they are not among my better quality strikes.
