Default Leinster OSD Collar

Hi all,

Does this cast Leinster OSD collar look okay?

Thanks,

Stephen

Not for me.

Looks terrible quality and nasty dustbin lid footed lugs. On the reverse there are two vertical scars (presumably from blade attachment points), however, they’re far too thick which along with the general look of the badge suggests it’s the product of someone attempting a poor casting of an OSD cap badge.

Thanks Luke,

Wasn't happy with those lugs, so glad my suspicions are confirmed.

Many thanks,

Stephen

For what it's worth I agree with Luke, it appears to be a pretty poor production, poorly cast.

Thanks John!

Could I perhaps also get you to cast you eye over this one too? I have feeling it is good, just a poor casting. Lugs look fine.

Many thanks,

Stephen

This one looks a lot better and good to me to me ( at least Jonson my phone screen), what do others think?
