They look Ok from the front. The 7th is the rarest and should have 2 retaining wires holding the numeral in place, on the back.

Default THANKS ALAN

Hi Alan, thanks for that. The pic I have at the rear has the slider shown, but just not enough to see the wires. I think if you feel it is rare I'll take the chance at 6 Euros.
The one I've added here I know has something to do with the 8th Irish/Liverpool. I looked at the one in the galleries, but it's different. I'm taking this is a younger post 45 version.
What do you think

Simon.

I think it is a fake. It is the Officer's design but it is made of the wrong metal.

I think you need to post reverse pictures if you have them. I just have a hunch they are duds at the moment. Would rather be able to say good, unsure or dud. I think the tips of the sliders shown are all a bit similar.Regards, Paul.

Default METAL

Shame; Whats the right metal for this one.
Also, do you know of QUEEN VICTORIA'S with sliders, or with lugs only.

The HAC is the Infantry Division; the other badge they wore was like the RA, only with HAC in place of "Ubique".

Hi Longshanks yes i agree with Alan O the 8th Liverpool Irish is a blatant repro.
