Another dud enamel badge being passed off as real?
1908 - 12 PERIOD ROYAL AUSTRALIAN ENGINEERS OFFICERS HAT BADGE, ENAMEL, LUGGED.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12378548...p2471758.m4704 Thoughts on this badge? Badge is probably OK but the enamel has been overheated and burnt, and not ground back as with other enamel badges; colour is so wrong it would have never passed a factory inspection; reminds me of other (home made) enamelled badges some time ago that were being passed off as genuine. What do you reckon - Brad? |

Looks like the seller took it down from ebay??
Here are the pics, and the description: "A 1908 - 1912 PERIOD ROYAL AUSTRALIAN ENGINEERS OFFICERS SLOUCH HAT BADGE. Copper/bronze (patinated) with the legend and motto in a dark red/maroon enamel. Lugged, both lugs present. Issued/used condition. Height; 45mm A good clean original example of this scarce issue type." This bloke might be part Bulgarian!!!
