Default Welsh Cyclists - yet another one for sale.

VGC with square fonts. Sorry but I have seen several dozens for these for sale on many dealers' websites and they are just too easy to find for this design to have to be made for a single battalion between 1912-20 even with the 2nd/7th and 3rd/7th being raised in late 1914.

I like the Regimentals one, but not the others.

All from the same stable (die). I wouldn’t buy any of them.

I would agree that the Regimentals example seems to have something to it.
Is there any chance that a cache of recently found originals may be at hand?
