The Buffs, Norfolk, Wiltshire How are these?

[DDEV]

The Buffs badge has some weight to it - 20g. Is it a bad sign when a badge has little detail on the reverse?

The Wiltshire is fake small oval between the scroll and cross -should be point contact between the cross and the end of the scroll -Collecting to the Wiltshire for 43 years

Buffs looks bad as does the Norfolks check the Trident and the Hand holding Flowers a lot of flash surplus metal

Sorry have to agree with billy about the Norfolk badge, its just poorly made, with no fine detail in many areas that you would normally expect.

Can you tell me which one, please ?

[49lassiepen]

Just recheck a 2nd vol badge officer silver plate which thought had the small oval -it does not
I do have a sand cast example which has a smallish oval
Just for interest the fake/commissioned anodised A E A cypher has this small oval also

I've got this lugged one, which has a small void, not really oval though.
Is this void okay ?

My lugged [vic/edwardian] example has the normal 'void 'between cross and scroll obtained from an old S.A collection via geoff Newman with the same lugged pair of collars If you look at any old post cards/cig cards or even book covers of the regimental history always have the point contact no small oval
