Tank Corps badges were made with sliders. I have never ever seen a lugged one that I would want.

The Leicestershire tiger is a fake I am afraid. The die is unique to ebay repro sellers. There is a thread about it soemwhere. The 'owl' like eyes are quite distinctive.

These pointers are in previous threads so it might be worth your while going through them before future purchasing.

Sorry.

Thanks Alan,
Seems I have a lot to learn!
Was hoping at least one would be right, though I did have my doubts when I got them for £6.
Will look at the previous threads, thanks

Paul
