Default Connaught Rangers Glengarry 1873-81

Friends, please be weary of this item on a well known auction site.
Very good copy, which would probably lead the seller to believe it is original but sadly not. Detail on the crown is not correct - Best Regards - Mark

I certainly would not describe it as a very good copy!

In general I agree but I had a good GMGR cap badge from this seller end of last year. Regards, Paul.

Hello Frank, you did comment on it at the time when posted. No it was not expensive for the badge, about £50. Regards, Paul.

Okay, I see, well fifty quid was certainly a bargain.
