Hi Paul, without seeing the back it's a tough one to say yes or no. I have to be honest, if I saw this pic on Ebay I would be taking a position of leaning towards taking a pass.
Here's mine. It looks more defined. http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ictureid=81106 Pity they don't post the backs. A tough one all round to make a final decision on. I see your concerns. Regards Simon. |

Hi Simon- Thanks for your comment. Its the thistle and leaves touching the O, C and N that I have thought as a sign of a good badge. On yours they clearly cross the inner circle on the right of the badge.
Thanks for posting a link to your badge. Regards, Paul. PS Also yours has a much better lion. |

Well- lack of replies but I think all I can say about this badge is that if it was for sale I would not consider buying it and I would not be the only one on the forum thinking that way. Judge a badge on its own merits- not on who is selling it-or in this case the reputation of the museum that holds it. Regards, Paul.

I agree always buy badge not the source or story! Re the badge I agree not good. Looked at my example and all different. Mine is good like the right one illustrated on this thread.

I strongly suggest this badge be used as a reference for all others.
