Hi Actionoke
I think it's a restrike. According to all the info that I've read here on the forum, the lugs should be brass on these badges, your one has copper lugs. Cheers, Alex |

Are they lugs that have been squeezed flat or are they pins on that badge?

May i add this one to the thread ?
This one is offered on eBay Germany, the seller has also a (damaged) shako plate and two buttons of the 24th Foot for sale. I like some details of the Glengarry and for me the lugs also dont look bad. But a there is a strange "patina" on the obverse in deeper areas, artificial ? A genuine badge or another restrike/fake ? Thanks for any comments, kind regards Markus |

The 24th Glengarry does not look to be correct I’m afraid. It also appears to be artificially aged.

Thanks Luke !
The strange patina and badly embossed background of the letters made me doubt. Better to ask for help before bidding ...... Kind regards Markus |
