Hi Gents,

Looking for opinions on these two "Sharpshooters" badges.

Thanks

Kevin

Copies with a obvious fake font of the JR Gaunt London.

Thought I’d take advantage of a current thread. I don’t hold out much hope for a badge that was labeled “Boer War Cap Badge Yoeman” when I picked it up.

This badge has much less detail on the rifles, the area between the straps and stocks is voided and the middle point of the “3” is below the rifle and not on top of it.

What do the members think?

Anglo Boer War it is not, nor, would I say it was original either, from the photographs.

Took a chance on a mislabeled badge. I'm out 8 bucks, but much wiser. Thanks Frank.
