The top 9th London is genuine, the bottom Gaunt one is a repro. I don’t collect officers badges so I’ll leave others to comment on those. |

The Finsbury Rifles with the die flaw below the Aris is also fake. |

Attachment 242678Attachment 242679Attachment 242680Attachment 242681Attachment 242682Attachment 242683 Hi Neil, I'm interested in the smaller London Scottish badge with lugs. Is it brass? If so, I think this should have a brooch fastener. Thanks for showing your marvellous collections. Cheers, John |

The 5th Battalion London Regiment. (London Rifle Brigade), has the classic faults associated with a worn out die and therefore may be a later restrike.
These faults are clearly seen in the letters that are ringed in red, where the top of the letter is joined buy a blob of excess metal to the outer rim of the circle. I have several examples of this badge with the same faults in my collection. The A of Africa looks a little ropey too. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ictureid=92394 Last edited by High Wood; 21-02-21 at 11:22 AM. |

Thank you all for your comments mostly confirming what I think, the small badge John is W/M I assume you mean the one with the two thistle collars.

Also just because something has a die flaw, like the Hampshire Cyclists or Lincolnshire Yeomanry does not mean it’s a restrike. |
