Hi Won these on Ebay, and thought to garner your opinions, missed out on 2 others, probably the nicer ones actually! And hopefully wasn't bidding against any Forum members (probably was!)

Have only just started to look at them but my main concern is are they genuine? Look good to me but can see what amounts to being Feet on the Silver (unhallmarked volunteers), the other seems to have similar but cannotsee how else they could have been mounted?

Many thanks in advance Billy

From the photos it looks a very poor quality struck badge with poor defination.

The colour is strange and I wouldnt expect silver looking loops.

Have you tested it to see if it is silver or just base metal?

regards
