Don't like the extra four holes which are evident on the reverse. Its also been repainted and appears to have been re-lugged.

....badge has pins missing ,so no extra holes .
...thanks identification. As to originality will get it checked out as pictures are not great as was seeking it's identification. I am surprised by the comments lugs do not appear replaced , and it has not been "repainted. I won't be binning it just yet. Regards steve Last edited by arrestingu; 29-03-21 at 03:48 PM. |

... here is the image from Kipling and King. There is a hallmark on the fine cut laurel wreath on the two leaves either side of the ribbon tie.
