25th Dragoons - no swords ?
Hi, did anyone see this on eBay item number 171940485697 (Military Army Badges various regiments pre 1975 Hussars Lancers 25th Dragoons) Finished now but can still be seen. In with the staybrights is a brass stamped out 25th Dragoons badge with no swords and odd rear fittings that are hard to see on pic. Is it a fantasy badge as it is not in Peters war raised book.

I think it could be the overlaid part of an NCO's sleeve badge, perhaps one of Fig. 66-69?

I had this out of a box of odds at a car boot sale recently, its 24mm wide 27mm high, is it tat?

This is the unfinished brass overlay of the comprised parts of the 25D badge, and this example is trying to resemble the Gaunt design; however, it's contemporary tat. Best, Marcus Note: there do exist fakes with this overlay that have the correct voided segments and the white-metal reverse of the badge almost matches the original Gaunt counterparts. That is, with the exception of the slider and crown that are the most distinctive faults, and an evident flaw under the "25th" along the scroll bottom edge, too. There's a lot more, but without pics in support I probably wouldn't make much sense. Last edited by Marcus H; 25-10-16 at 03:49 PM. |
