Hello forum,
Is this a 17th or 17th/21st Lancers ? Good or bad please?
Kind regards,
Jim.

Hi GriffMJ,i have tinkered with the light on two photos to try and lighten the badge. Im afraid the focus on my phone is the best I can do. Hope they are ok.

Thank you Griff for your knowledge, this must be the the fourth fake 17th Lancers that I have had. I really struggle to tell a good from a bad with this badge. It was in with a job lot from auction.
Kind regards,
Jim.
