Totally agree with Luke. The biggest tell is the pals badge hart should have visible fur similar to the officers patterns. Other ranks Warwicks badge hart has a smooth finish.

Hugely faked. However the original badges for all 3 battalions came form the same die which had 3 distinct 'tells'

1. Furry back.
2. Bearded chin.
3. 3 jewels in the collar.

The cap badges were bought by the Battalion in 1915 and issued to the Pals along with a single scroll version. They were not supplied by the Army who take over supply in 1916.
