Thank you for the close up. I’ve attached a pic of an Edwardian badge showing how the castle should join.

The second badge is perfectly OK. A WW1 oddity in my belief.

As to the third badge, it’s genuine but as to if this is a legitimate modification or another ‘cut and shut’ who can say. Given the company it was in with the 2 tower forgery I’d be inclined to suspect the latter.

Yes officers' OSD is the Bronze. As you show it has a blank scroll rather than missing.

Thank you for that, I feel that have hijacked this thread somewhat and as it has caused me to get my anglian related badges out I should start a thread myself.
