Welsh Regiment and Cheshire
Good morning
I'm fairly happy with these but would welcome comments. Both badges have vent holes and the Welsh has a replacement copper slider. Many thanks Martyn |

Just from the photographs, I would say they are both okay.

Martyn,
That's not a pattern of the WR that I'm convinced is right. I cannot quite see from your photos but I rather think it is the type with really poorly defined viens on the feathers and the fact that the shank has been replaced reinforces my suspicions as the examples I have seen have poor quality fixings. Hwyl, Kevin |

Many thanks Kevin
I have put a few more pictures on. It has a blow hole behind the crown with spelter coming from it so the hole does look correct. Martyn Last edited by Martyn123; 30-08-17 at 03:36 AM. |

Martyn,
Thanks for putting some more photos. I'm still not convinced with it as the definition on the PoWs feathers is very poor and fakers have been known to incorporate blow/braise holes in their copies. That said the Lambourne issue of this badge is also very poor in terms of definition but is right. Hwyl, Kevin |

Many thanks Kevin. I'll keep hold of it for now and see what else I can find out about it. It is just so well put together. The crown is well fitted and I like the spelter in the blue hole. Thanks your help.
Regards Martyn |

Hello Martyn.
Having looked at the second set of photographs, I am afraid that I think the Welsh Regiment is actually completely spurious and needs to be replaced. I had glanced at the original photographs and just assumed it was merely a replaced slider, but, now I think it is rather more than that, very odd looking crown, I do not like it and would certainly not be happy with it. Never mind, there is a plentiful supply of originals out there which can often be had for very little money. Regards Frank |
