Default AN EXTRA FEW EYES

Hi all

I don't do this very often, as being on the Forum these years I've learnt a lot about what's good and bad. But these three I'm 50/50 on.

The Devonshire one has the sign of gold braze on the lugs and is made of a thick material.

The Norfolk Econ also has me wondering. Has what looks like a nice tapered slider, and some signs of gold braze. Same with the Leicestershire TF. Looks OK, but would appreciate some extra eye's for a once over.

Cheers all.

Regards

Simon.

Simon,
I be reasonably happy with all but the awful looking tiger! Not one I would even consider to be good in the slightest!

Thanks Andy, just what I was looking for. What are the pointers on the Leics then I should look out for in the future.

Regards

Simon.

Simon,
It could be just the image but the slider does not look right and the features of the cat itself! There is definitely an EI version of this badge, but I don't think yours is one?

Yeah. I know what you mean. The slider was what made me post it with doubt. It has virtually no braze to the connection point. Also, I don't like the sanding marks of the flat edge to the rear. Never seen that before.

I think as you say I'll keep the other two and return the Leic's.

Thanks Andy, as always really appreciate your opinion.

Regards, and have a good weekend.

Simon.
