Thought I'd do a thread on this much copied badge. First two photos other ranks broached, second two sergeants arm badge (notice braze hole). Finally a 100% Guaranteed original from that well known site for comparison.Cheers Sean.

Sean,
It took me quite a while to find one like your broached example. Unlike the fakes, mine is 'domed' in the centre, there is a small gap between the ends of the wreath and the crown and the corn stalks are more cut out at the top. The other badge is a fantastic example. Alan |

Hi Alan, I have another two examples of this badge which are also domed, apart from the too thin lettering on the fake the leaves have no relief to them (flat). Cheers Sean.

Thanks for some clarification on this folks. Are we then to regard that "100% original" example as a definite bad one or possible variant?

I have seen another post in the last year showing good and bad examples of this badge, and felt sure it was on this forum. I am though unable to find it. Can anyone give me a link? Cheers, Paul.

Found it on MCN but the pictures have been removed.

Any chance of a photo looking across the badge to show the `domed` effect?
