Hi people. This is my first post and hopefully I will get it right! I have a cap badge that purports to be a First World War Women's Auxiliary Army Corps cap badge. Of all the images I have seen of WAAC (WW1) badges, all have piercing whereas the one I have has none. I have attached an image below?. I would welcome views. Ta ever so.

It's a modern copy. The faker lacked the skills to void it.

Welcome Bartonhouse. There are several unvoided badges that are fake copies of Great War period badges. Tank Corps and Royal Flying Corps come to mind. Regards, Paul.
