Egypt Gloucestershire Badge - Genuine or Not?
I believe this to be an Egypt Gloucestershire Regiment pouch badge - screw fittings rather than lugs? I think the number 28 represents the 28th On Foot Regiment, but not sure if the numbers belong with the badge, even though they were together in my late Dad's collection. Help needed please whether you think the badge is genuine. I have looked at other images and have noticed a difference in mine, in as much as the design under the EGYPT plinth is not attached to the plinth, there is a small gap. Hopefully you can see what I mean from the photos. Your opinion would be appreciated and if genuine, a rough valuation. Thank you.

This style of badge was pretty heavily restruck . However, good signs are that the restrikes I saw had loops. The fact this comes with lugs and nuts is good.

I have the same badge and it is from the same die.
It came from a dealer selling fakes and it cost me GBP 10.- I am quite sure it is an older fake. Last edited by btns; 22-09-20 at 09:29 AM. Reason: typo |

I agree the black, flat patina on the back and light and clean front do make it look like an artificially aged badge.
