Default 94th and 141st (Queen's Own Dorset Yeomanry) Field Regiments RA

Hi Guys,

How are you? I have this badge which should be of the 94th and 141st (Queen's Own Dorset Yeomanry) Field Regiments RA (according to Doyle and Foster). I would like to know your opinions on its originality. I have noted that the top of the Y (of Yeomanry) on the badge is not cut out as I have seen on another example. Your thoughts most appreciated. Thank you. Have a great day!

Cheers, Tom

Looks like the slider has been replaced to me, maybe a genuine badge with a replacement slider?

Hi Alex, Thank you for a possible alternative theory on this badge. I also had some privately expressed opinions: one liking it and another not. Well it seems at the moment that it is at best a controversial badge.
