Hertfordshire Regiment Badge - Opinions Please
Hello all,
I have been directed here from the Great War Foum for help with a badge query I have. I have been a collector of all things WW1, including badges and buttons, but have recently veered away from cap badges owing to the proliferation of fakes and restrikes (use whichever phrase you prefer!). I would very much appreciate members' opinions on the Hertfordshire Regiment badge below. To me it seems fairly legitimate and shows polishing wear consistent with honest wear and use. However, I am not au fait with the signs to look for with a dodgy badge so would really appreciate any thoughts at all on this one. Thanks in advance and best wishes, Simon |

Gents,
Thank you so much for your prompt replies and their positive nature! I had a good feel about this badge given the wear and age (the rounding to the crown is a nice sign) but have become increasingly suspicious of cap badges. Is it at all possible to hazard a guess as to the period this may date from. I know the design is the type worn 1914-1918 and was again worn by some (territorial?) units in the Second World War, but I wondered whether the design might hint at a period? I would love to know your thoughts on some of my other badges. I'll try to start a new thread about them at som stage. Best wishes, Simon |
