Badge Opinions Please

[Larmo]

Greetings All

Recently I purchased an older collection of 300 badges and before I move them on I would like to get some opinions please. Placing them here on the forum seems to be the prudent thing to do, any bad ones will go in the circular file.

A sincere thanks for your help.

I like the Lion- pattern often seen as an earlier lugged/looped badge. Regards, Paul.

The Dorsetshires is not one that I would buy. I have seen these with blank plates soldered over the Marabout scroll but in my opinion the badge construction is not right for a 1908-16 cap badge. The die is a later WW2 era one.

Thanks gents, 1/1 thus far. Perhaps if I just keep adding to this thread it may prove to be a decent archive for good vs evil. So, with that in mind, here are two more.

Best to all

Inniskilling and Cornwall

[manchesters]

Both good, but the OSD collar has had its loops removed and converted to a ladies brooch.

[Larmo]

Thank you Simon...I suppose there is a certain charm to the conversion of the OSD, original is always best of course.

Best

Here are a few more for critique please, regarding the Scotch Brigade insignia, I have no idea what this represents...

Thanks to all for your help.

Here are a few more...thanks for looking

They all look OK, to me.

I am not convinced by the blank scroll Lincolns.

I agree, the font of the letters upon the scroll does nothing to convince me.

The Lincs is a dud. The KOSB is not one I would buy as it's been improperly pierced and the rear detail is poor suggesting a worn die typical of restrikes.

The Essex TF is suspect as well as the plinth edges have a high border seen on copies and the construction and style of slider suggest a modern badge to me. Finally i am afraid that the Jury's out on the London Regt badge as the reverse looks modern and slider is suspect in shape.

That's only my opinion but I would replace them all if they were in my collection.
