a few new items with a few questions

[badgecollector]

hi all
just wondering a few things about this lot
firstly, are they all genuine?
what is the PoW feathers badge? Welsh? and why is it a chocolate brown?
what period are the 2 collars, the the Sth Lancs and the welsh dragon?
is the rifles badge a collar as it has rather large looking lugs
is the para genuine as its on lugs and not a slider as im used to seeing?

thanks in advance

The KOYLI is actually a cap badge with the wide fittings. WW1 were on vertical shanks but they changed to this one inter war. The collars were lugged.

The Para Regt is fine: whilst the early ones were on a slider, they changed to lugged ones.

Or R. Wiltshire Yeomanry, and possibly 15th London.

With what appears to be a fairly strong crimp mark at the top of the slider, which should indicate WW1 vintage

CB, RWY badges were bi-metal, 15th Londons were blackened brass. The badge in the opening post is bronzed brass as worn by the Denbighshire Hussars.

RWY wore both Bz and bi-metal badges. The issued one produced mid war was Bz and for use by both the DH and the RWY as the sealed patterns card listed both regiments on it.

Thanks Alan, that's a new one on me.
