MGC Cloth Badge

[badger123]

Any thoughts on this cloth MGC badge?

It looks like WW1 construction but looks a little 'clean'.

Many thanks, Ivan

The M doesn't look right to me ? Are the top 2 points on it level ? It might just be my eyes, it looks to clean to me. What about UV light ?

Not too worried about the letters being level, variation in these types of WW1 cloth badges is not unusual.

The construction looks good and yes it looks clean, hence my query.

Cheers

these are fake guys , also there are M.G.C with `I` below the letters there are also A.S.C and R.F.C all same style all very well made I did do a post last year but think every one Ignored it ! The R.F.C ones are fooling a lot of people

Ivan,

These are copies/reproductions being sold to the unsuspecting by a Lincolnshire dealer. They are copying desirable titles, RNAS AAC are also a favorite. Early on they caught a few people out even Robin McGregor briefly listed one then withdrew it once he was aware it was a fake.

Thanks Michael and Mark, I'll let the owner know.

I was suspicious of how clean and new it looks but the construction is very good and no doubt with time, these badges will look more convincing.

Someone certainly has put a lot of effort into making these and whenever I see such good copies, it just reinforces my decision long ago to concentrate on just one regiment!

A great many doing the rounds these days, awful and brand new.
