Hi Alan,

Let me know via PM or email with a web link (if you have it) or place it here.

I'm doing a chapter on Fakes and need a bit more info.

Regards

Chris

Hi Guys,

Stupid here has lost the owner of the badge in the Cavalry section known as

C1B - 1st The Queens Dragoon Guards - Solid Between Eagles

Another member has expressed an interest as to the makers mark (if any) on the slider.

Would owner be so kind as to let me know the following:

a) who you are for documentation purposes
b) what said maker mark is

Regards

Chris

Default Wrong Badge

Hi
It's me that needs the info, but Chris has wrongly indicated the required badge. It is not the 'solid between the eagles' but C1 The completely voided badge. In fact.... I think you have that item in your collection Chris?!

Is there a makers mark on the slider?

Sorry Howard - too many 'Stupid Pills' in me orange juice this morning.

OK, my voided example has:

J R GUANT B'HAM

to the slider.

Hope this helps.

Hi Alan
Is that badge completely voided? I have a half void AA badge by Firmin.

Howard,

I don't collect badges by makers so if you have another a/a version then I am happy to swap them.

Thank you for that offer, very kind. I do not have any spares of any kind of AA at the moment but the moment i do i will be in touch. I assume it must be like for like, ie fully voided for a fully voided badge not half or non voided....

Thanks again
H
