Default Bedfordshire Hertfordshire Regiment Opinions Welcome

Lots of badges I don't like with this regiment
The first maybe ok the second no chance

I think the normal bimetal is ok but the non voided? and don't know about the bronzed either.

Officers OSD fairly happy with these the Bedford cap is a bit flimsy but is maker marked J&Co.

Cool Solid centre economy

I don't like the solid centre economy IMO a fake.

OSD's look OK.

All the OSD badges are good with the possible exception of the die struck one marked J Co. I don't believe they made badges in this manner, but not sure. The only other badge that I am sure of is the standard Bi metal Bedford with the rectangular braise holes.
Not familiar enough with the Vol. badges to comment.

Thanks for both of your comments they do reflect my views
Happy with most of these but I don't know what small bronzed collar is or why the bimetal collar should have it's lugs cut off and a small slider attached it's second war so not the same sort of muddle with caps as the first

Officers Silver is marked sterling silver and the last silver gilt set collars marked P for plate but only one maker marked Firmin London
