Default Leinster Officer badge

Hi All
Thoughts on this??? To me it looks like a Frankenstein cast copy of an O/Rs badge which has had blades added. I wouldn't touch it personally!

Cheers,

I agree with your assessment on its construction, Alex.

Obviously officers badges comprise a broad church in terms of quality ranging from the sublime to the clearly cheaper alternatives.

Suffice to say that example is not one I’d want even if the ticket price was far less ‘speculative’.

It has some characteristics of Indian made badges. I think I have an Indian Army officer badge or two that are similar.
At any rate, a vastly overpriced badge.
