Hi J and All.
All Opinions Welcome. This is the badge I am not sure of. Fingers crossed it's a good one. 🙏 Thanks Mark |

There are three types of OR's Lpl Pals badge. The first badge was provided by the Earl of Derby in November 1914. It is cast in brass with a flat back.
The second was die struck in gilding metal (GM) with NS loop, issued officially in summer 1915. The 3rd type was again - official - die struck (also GM) with a slider. All of them were "painted" with a dark brown colour (cf Household Cavalry and many Yeomanry badges). I have to admit a niggling doubt about the very heavy edge of the reverse. But others will have other opinions. |

I would agree with KLR, the edge on the rear looks very pronounced, I've looked at the rear of mine and they aren't as 'sharp' looking

Although I don't feel qualified to make a comment as to the originality of the badge in question, it does not appear to be of the same die as this. Close examination will show a multitude of minute differences, ie., the fleur de lis on the coronet, the G in changer, the scroll endings etc.

From the photographs, I would think the badge is not original.
