1st VB DCLI
Hello all,
Today I returned the dubious 1st Monmouths that I showed on here a couple of weeks ago with no problems. I have now been offered, on sale or return, a badge for the 1st Volunteer Battalion of The Duke Of Cornwall's Light Infantry. I'm not sure about it as I can find nothing similar in my books &, to be fair to him, the person offering it to me has also said that he's unsure too. Any thoughts? Cheers Steve

1st VB DCLI
I think I would be unsure as to the authenticity of this 1st VB DCLI, especially with a Lambourne marked slider, as I understand Lambourne only made cap badges during the Great War when demand was high.
I think they made swagger stick tops before the Great War, but I may be wrong. Rob

The lack of underscore under the O in Co is cause for concern.

The whole badge is a fake, made to deceive.

I agree with Simon, whole thing is fake including the makers mark.
I don’t recall seeing a fake Lambourne mark until the mid/late 2000s so I suspect it’s of far more modern manufacture and chemically aged. Cheers, Luke
