Hi Luke.

Its me again.

Wouldn't they be breaching copyright, by using the Firmin London stamp.

Just looked at the Middlesex Regiment cap badge I have, and its larger than the Works one.

Thank you all for your patience.

Gerwyn

Gerwyn,

You need to spend some time taking photos of all these badges front and back that you have.

otherwise we are going around in circles here.

a picture is better than a hundred words

They are all the very same badge, your lugs/ loops are cast in in one piece with the badge ,see the lines that run down through the lugs, that's where the back of the mould opens releasing them.

The scanner I like £55.

Hi magpie

For some reason, when I open your links, I get adverts asking for donations.

Hi JT

Just looked at David Middlesex Works badge, in looks nice, and it came from a family member.

I did try to see if I could post a reply, asking David if he could post a photo of the reverse, but couldn't find a reply.

Thank you for your link, showing a genuine one.

You cant get any better proof with David's cap badge, when it came from his grandfather
