I’ll check mine when I get home tomorrow Peter, but I must a
say I rather fear it’s a copy.
Hwyl,
Kevin

Thanks Kevin,

It won’t be a surprise if it’s not good news.

Whether it is a Marsh copy, I could not say; but it certainly does not look like a good badge.

I looked at mine, and the first thing I notice is the letters in RADNOR are not as crisp as in mine, and the A and the O have little cuts in them. Sorry, but it is not a badge I would buy.

Peter,
Sorry for the delay, work and Covid got in the way.
This is my Guelphic crown version on a 1940 dated side cap, together with what I thought to be a good post 1953 version. I have no verification for the later as it is not a unit I have undertaken any research into.
Hwyl,
Kevin
