Default flat top 3rd Dragoon Guards and 10th Royal Hussars

Gentlemen,

How are you? As these badges are very similar in design and construction I thought it good to combine these in one and the same thread. I like both badges (the 3rd somewhat more than the 10th) but would very much appreciate some 2nd opinions on originality of both. Based on the overall appearance I would think the 3rd Dragoon Guards would be original, the 10th could also be good but less sure on that one. Then again I could be wrong on both. Both badges have a hole behind the slider for attachment of the crown. Thanks for your help and enjoy your weekend!

Cheers, Tom

"Both look good" vs. "both look fake". What to make of this?

In any case, thank you both for your comments.

My opinion is that they are WW1 made. Not peacetime quality but OK.

I like the 3rd Dragoon Guards, I agree with Alan regarding WW1 era, I've seen a couple like this, can't comment on the Hussars.

Just from the photographs, I would be happy with the 3rd DG, a pleasing example, I think the 10th H is original, but, you could certainly find better examples.
