Default 7th Gurkha Rifles - fantasy items.

These 7GR patches are fantasy items so I'm not sure what he means as "original"

The seller spanmil has a very long and well documented history on this forum of selling forged items.

I think he cut short his description. He meant to say - "Original Fake Fantasy" I'm sure! OK, maybe not!!!

Default 1916 economy all brass East Lancs Regt
Gents, a car bootsale find this morning and a punt for £8 - what I believe is an all brass 1916 East Lancs Regt.

I am encouraged by the patina and crimp mark, but would appreciate comments from those more familiar with WW1 era line regiment badges.

Good or bad?

Looks like a normal white metal badge with gm rose to me. Try cleaning it.
