I am looking at and considering several of these cap badges, and am wondering if there is a way to tell a good one from a bad one? I am looking at the all brass one for the battalion that served in the RA as Anti-Aircraft in WW2. This is a picture I just took at random from the net, and is not one I am looking at. I share it to better show the badge I am asking about.



Thank you,

Terry

Of course one must see the reverse of any given badge to be sure, but those familiar with this badge could probably guess correctly without.

Thanks CB! I am hesitant to show the badges I am considering as both are from good dealers. I could probably return them if need be, but hate to go through the hassle since I am in the US and have most of my badges shipped ot a friend in the UK for shipping cost savings.
