Default 24th lancers

Hi guys. Seems to be a nice quality badge, but I am very aware lots of copies around. Could you please tell me if it’s duff or not.
Thanks.
Chris

Hi frank.
Theses are all badges I collected over last 30 years. Have only really got back into hobby over last couple of years. And have only recently found this site. Although I have had to bin over half of my badges, and am now just going through some I was not sure of, I am actually enjoying myself. Have now started buying ( but only having cross checked with badges on site ) badges again. Am now having the long drawn out thoughts about framing up some.
Will put this badges aside and use for ref. IE what not to buy.
Regards
Chris

Apart from the horrible "footed" lugs, its the tiny triangle of extra metal at the point where the lance crosses the circle that gives it away.
