Lincolnshire Regiment - Shako & Glengarry
I recently acquired the following badges from an auction house, selling a collection of Lincolnshire Regiment badges. Having received them I am not sure about their authenticity. Perhaps members on here can confirm if they are genuine or copies.
1) 2nd Vol. Battn Lincolnshire Regiment. Although this example has nice dark toned lugs E-W, it does not match the example in mooke07 excellent album on Lincolnshire badges, i.e only 2 lugs instead of 3 and a solid crown opposed to a voided crown. 2) An officer quality Glengarry badge. Sphinx over X. I cannot find records that this badge ever existed. An elaborate fake? 3) 10th Foot 1869 NCO's shako plate. Appears to be copper lugs for a badge over 150 years old (one loose...!). A fake leatherette backing. I'm sure vinyl is a 20th century invention  4) 10th North Lincoln Regt x 2. Both examples appear in mooke07 album again. Identified as possible fake. 5) 10th officer Helmet/Shako plate. Gilt with white metal sphinx. The sphinx appears to the modern one used on fake Lincolnshire Regt cap badges. Your comments, positive or negative will be used as evidence in my complaint to the auction house concerned. Thanks Andy

Andy,
2VB is good. All the others have been copied over the years and I too am suspicious of them, but cant say for sure. regards

Lincolnshire badges
I agree, difficult to say if you don't have the badges in your hand, the 2nd VB looks good to me as well.

Hi Andy,
The 2VB is fine and have attached a pic of some additional Lincs badges I have yet to add to the album which includes the Officers pattern 2VB with a non-voided Crown. The others are all copies I am sorry and should be sent back. I would always be happy to comment prior to purchase without fear of bidding myself on any item, I don’t do that sort of thing, just PM me, cheers Dean.
