Default Edwardian 2 VB Norfolk regt for opinions plse
Can I please ask for opinions on this Edwardian Lugged 2 VB Norfolk Rgt cap badge. I can see that its not a " Mr Punch" style fake and that it has the correct white metal construction but that is where my knowledge bottoms out. Can I please ask the more knowing collectors for their professional opinions .

Frank,

The so-called 'Mr. Punch' Norfolk Regiment badge, is a particular fake that bears a comical resemblance to (you're no doubt ahead of me by now) Mr Punch.

That moniker was originally coined by Terry, forum member 'Lampwick', back in 2010, and seems to have stuck, and is now widely used among forum members when referring to that particular abomination.

I'm pretty certain that's from Firstlight Militaria (£79). I've been watching it for a couple of weeks pending success or not at Bosleys today. Too late.

Okay, all becomes clear now, I was rather confused by Mr Punch.
