Default The Lancashire Fusiliers
I have just Aquired this badge for the Lancashire Fusiliers in white metal.
It originally had a slider which has been replaced by a pin fixing.
I can't seem to find any info from my books and wondered if any body could help ie, is it volunteer,militia etc it has me stumped.

Cheers
Malc

Cheers Blizzard
the only reference to a militia i can find is in Colin Churchills collar badge book which states, 7th Royal Lancashire Militia became the 3rd batt'n in 1881,dividing into two battalions in 1891,as the 3rd and 4th.renumbered 5th and 6th 1n 1898,only to be renumbered 3rd and 4th in 1908. So all i need to find out is which battalion 3rd or 4th the badge is.
Thanks for putting me on the right track.

Cheers
Malc.

Have you noticed that the small twirl at the bottom of the threath on your badge goes round to the right and on mine it goes round to the left ?

Spencer,

I can see nothing wrong with it as a WW2 badge. As there were differnt makers of the abdge you get makers variations.

Alan,

I agree if it is a good 'un it will definitly be a later badge 40s-50s, my problem with this one is the lack of detail on the front and in the back stamping. It doesn't look like its been polished away but rather a poorly detailed stamping.

As I'm ultra cautious with my badges and am only happy if I'm 110% convinced they're real I would look to replace it personally.

In my opinion this one only has a 50-50 chance of being OK.

Luke

Joachim is correct - it is an officer's collar.

Default LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS WHAT ONE ?
This probably happens to all collectors > You aquire two badges the same and can't decided what one to keep . Well I know neither are probably WW1 which I want but I want to keep one until I find a WW1 version . I can't make my mind up so I'm putting it to the vote .
