Gentlemen, 107 views and no comments. Why no comments on these badges?Please post your opinions on these badges as I need to find out if all are original ww1 and/or ww2 era ones. If not I can still return these to the seller. Please help. Thanks! Cheers, Tom

I don’t mean this in an unfriendly way but it’s quite overload.
You’ve posted perhaps 200 odd badges for comment in 3 or 4 days. Most threads or discussions focus on one or maybe a handful of badges, many of yours are near complete sets/themes and it’s one after the other. Personally I think with large sets the best method is to create an album and invite comments, which is possible below individual pictures. Keeping track of 20 odd badges asked about within a single thread is not the easiest. I will comment on more when I have time to go through them. |

Hi Luke, Thanks for your comments. I understand what you are saying. We are almost there. Just a couple of infantry badges left and some support formations. I realy appreciate all the help given and I wish I had more time to do this but I am running against a dead line for the return of badges that are not original to the seller. As for an album that is an interesting idea although I am not sure doing an album is less work for anyone if they have to work through 200 or so badges or so. I thought it best to cut up my badges into groups so as to attract those who have a special interest in f.e. hussars or fusiliers and give them more sizable chunks to work with. In any case thanks for all your help so far and like I said the end is in sight! Cheers, Tom |

Welcome Tom. I think the collection you have purchased is in general quite a good one and the duds among the collection are of an acceptable percentage. You were brave to purchase a collection of this size being new to collecting British badges.
This is though the second large collection put on the forum recently for comment, though the 1st looked to have been collected bit by bit, not bought as a collection. I don't recall such mass collection assessment requests taking place before on the forum, most of us adding to a collection a badge or a few badges at a time. I have been put off making comment due to the numbers of badges posted and others may feel the same way, but I commend those who have made the effort to help you, and hope you end up knowing you have a good collection and what identifies each badge as being a good one. Regards, Paul. PS As I've posted, I think your 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 14th, 17th, 19th, 23rd, 25th are OK- the others I'm unsure of or don't know. Last edited by wardog; 09-05-21 at 04:20 PM. |

I would be a little skeptical of the 9th and 20th, the sliders and finish look a bit modern, the rest look ok to me.

Well in that case I dont think he or she has done you any favours.
There are many badges in that lot which are obvious fakes and anyone buying or selling British military badges would definitely know are fake. I would be very annoyed if someone sent me all those badges as genuine. regards

Hello Tom. I assumed you had bought one persons collection, though it now sounds you have bought en masse, possibly from a dealer. While it can be accepted for a collection to have fake badges in its ranks- we all make mistakes, not so much of an allowance should be made for a dealer. In hindsight I can see your need to get opinion on the forum, and I hope your arrangement to return unacceptable badges works out. Have you estimated the percentage of bad badges so far? Regards, Paul.
