Default Hampshire Volunteer Bn. Any Good?
My antenna detect a restrike or fake for the attached Hampshire 1st Vol Bn. It is heavier than normal, in solid brass. The cast is crisp but it just feels odd. Any opinions please. Thanks. Nick

Pity. I was dubious when ordering. Now need to source an original.
