17th County of London Pouch Badge

[Smudger 53]

Is this 17th County of London (Poplar & Stepney Rifles) a fantasy badge Please?
It has a QVC, but I have read that they were not fomed until 1908?

85mm x 70mm. Three threaded studs on reverse.
TIA

Will this be for sale shortly too? If so forum rules are you should state this from the outset.

Please see my reply to you on the RWF WM post

I don't regard it as my job to police the forum, but as I recall you seemed a little irked when you were asked a while back if you were seeking assistance re. badges you intended to sell.

Nobody's taking a pop at you - it's simply that a basic rule of the forum is that if you are intending to sell a badge that you are asking questions about then you state that you are intending to sell it.

I believe that there's also a request that you offer the badge in question to forum members first.

Whatever, the point is that the forum rules require/ request that you state that if you are selling the badge you want people to help you with information about, you say so.

Presumably you've been unaware of this?

Understood, and apologies to all if i infinged the rules.

The colour, the manufacture, the un natural wear and the extremely poor quality scream fake to me.

The regiment existed from 1908 until 1967.
Its not a Victorian Crown,its a Guelphic crown.
Most commonly used by the Rifle Brigade on their belt plates. From approx 1823 right up to 1958,except for a 50 ish year period when the KC was used.
Appears on their last cap badge and used from 1952. But then carried on by the London Rifle Brigade Rangers.

If you are selling you have to state so before not do a cover all post in another thread.
