Large 'of' anodised Ayrshire Yeomanry
Hello
I've a couple of examples of the anodised Ayrshire Yeomanry cap badge, JR Gaunt, and the long necked Smith & Wright, both Have the small 'of'. I've seen a large 'of' on a dealers list recently, I'm sure I've read somewhere to avoid this one as it's a fake, is this true please? Your time and help are greatly appreciated. Thank you Chris |

Not heard before that the large OF is a fake. I have attached pics of the one I have which I am quite happy with. Paddy |

Yea, looks good Paddy, I don't know where I got that information from, but I swear I have seen it on the forum somewhere, I must be mistaken.
Firmin slider, large 'of', another to get! Cheers Paddy, much appreciated. Chris |

Nothing wrong with a large 'Of' or the small 'of'. Just a question of age,if I recall correctly the Smith & Wright version had a small Of. This would have been an early anodised version.
Most of the other versions are large 'Of' ,there are also differences in the size of the Griffin thingy. |

Gents, echoing Mike, nothing fake about the large 'of' its a die variation, mine is also a Firmin London.
Purely for interests sake, attached my A.Y. set. Regards all Bess Last edited by bess55; 12-02-21 at 05:43 PM. Reason: Shocking spelling |
