Border regiment
Hello again! Now I hope to get better pictures to study than in my last thread!...What do you think about this badge? It seems really similar to one WWI I saw in here...but I am not sure...what is your opinion please?

Unmarked F. Narborough badge with w/m tangs holding the red felt and with the nasty undefined mess between the upper arm of the Maltese Cross and the crown.
There are some very interesting threads on Narborough made badges on the forum which will help you place the time of manufacture if interested. Easy enough to find using 'search'. If you want one example of a Border Regiment badge for your collection, then perhaps a Narborough badge wouldn't be the best example of British manufacture. However, if it is just an example of the period then nothing wrong with it. I sold my Narborough Border badge many years ago and replaced it with some better examples. However, I may decide to collect to this manufacturer one day. Unfortunately some Narborough dies do appear to have been used by fakers, with tapered sliders fitted and marked ENGLAND, so one needs to be careful.

Thanks a lot for the info! I use a lot the "search" option in here...and I found this thread:
https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...order+regiment But the badge you can see in there is more crisp that the one I show in here...that is why asked...it is not so good as I would expect...so I became to think that maybe it was a fake...but you are right, it would be better let it go...thanks again!!

FN made badges are usually not the best made examples, but they are of course original. I have quite a few and like them none the less. I would certainly keep it.
