Default Inniskilling Fusiliers sweat holes

Hi
Has anyone seen this type of rectangle sweat hole layout before . Three of them , all rectangle . One larger for the castle and two small for the scroll . I struggled to take a decent pic of the back with the slider in the way .
Do you think this is a copy or a good badge ?
Thank you

Hi Phillip

The "sweat holes" come in many shapes and sizes.

Unfortunately, some are now being faked but for the most part it's just down to different manufacturers and different time periods.

That's for sure. Even the "experts" amongst us (and I'm certainly not one of them) are still learning all the time!
