Default Royal Engineers Pagri?

Has anyone seen this one before. Looks to be locally made (sand cast). There is a very weak "London" stamp on the top right side of pin; a possible hint that something may not be correct.

Thanks,

Drew

As it's Indian RE cypher then it appears to be a genuine pagri.

Default Three Lugs on Cap Badge

Here is another one - I've never seen a cap badge that has three lugs at the East, West and North....I thought I would go this way in lieu of N, E, W. Although, this is "NEW" to me.

I am not happy that your 'Militia' badge is genuine.

Firstly the fitting of the M isnt right.

An M on a GVIR badge isnt normal

The quality of the badge is very poor.

The 3 loops is just incorrect

Just my opinion

I have several GV1R RE badges with the letter M attached.
