Not Sure About These

[badger123]

Had a rummage in a drawer with odds and sods in and came across these which I'm really not sure about but suspect the worse.

Not really in my area of collecting (i.e. not York and Lancs) and have just accumulated them over the years from mixed lots with Y&L badges I wanted so no loss really.

1. Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire (on lugs). I seem to recall the long 'I' in the word HONI maybe being an indicator of a copy?

2. Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire (on slider). The slider looks good but the detail on the lettering doesn't look sharp.

3. Gloucestershire. Not convinced about the slider.

4. Royal Tank Regiment. Just doesn't look right?

5. 10th Gurkha's. I have absolutely no idea about this one and way outside my comfort zone.

All comments appreciated. Regards, Ivan

I would be happy with #2 and #4
Just my opinion.

I don't know of the 10G as it is out of my collecting time line, but as for the rest, I would not be happy with any of them.

Tony, CB, many thanks for your comments.

The Bedfordshire Reg only became the Beds & Herts after WWI, so this pattern is unlikely to be found with lugs.
Cheers,

Good point Alex and one I had not considered! Cheers

Any final comments before I consign these to the fake bin?
