Purchases on holiday
I found a frame of ( mainly ) Household Brigade related badges in a shop in Eton whilst of holiday. Like a lot of collections there appear to be some genuine and non genuine badges mixed together and I would appreciate any comments on any of the items.
There are a couple of embroidered Guards arm badges, a couple of wbc`s with matching bench marks ( positive id`s appreciated ) and a binocular case badge badge (?). There are some Guards cap badges including a Grenadiers cap badge with strengthening and an extra lug and a Welsh Guards badge with slider marked Dowler Birmingham and a First Life Guards Geo 5th cap badge with blades replaced with a crudely fitted slider and Geo 6th RHG badge with one blade and marked Firmin London. Finally a number of badges which I am not at all happy with. All comments gratefully received, they are not items I will be keeping. Many thanks P.B.

The 6 badges in your last 2 photos are indeed reproduction imo.
The 5 Foot Guards and the 2 x Household cavalry in the earlier photos are genuine badges. |

Peter, the large grenade badge is part of the cloak chain. minus hook or chain. Depending which end it is. You probably know this. What was the price for this lot, i can't see the tag in the photo ?

Not a fan of the RHC badge Peter, sorry. Looks to have been artificially aged on the back and you do see a lot of Gaunt B’ham marked fakes of these. Incidentally the slider on your badge is the same shape/length as the aforementioned.

Thanks for all the responses which are appreciated.
(Simon only in Eton/Windsor to be close to Heathrow for flight to US otherwise I would definitely be a Harrow supporter ) If anyone can positively identify the wbc`s I would appreciate it. Will be in touch with everyone who has expressed an interest in individual badges. Peter

I agree with Luke H, sorry Peter, the RHC is likely a reproduction.
