26th Hussars

I know there is a thread on this somewhere but unable to locate it so could someone please fill me in with the conclusions. It is very well made (cast) but has the obvious anachronism that Jennens finished c1925 and this badge is c1942 plus I have never seen a Jennens badge with a slider before. If someone was going to make a fake, why on earth would they put a slider of that date on it which is so obviously wrong?
Is it possible that Jennens did have sliders made for ORs badges but never used and taken over with their stock by Gaunts who saw this as a chance to use them up in 1941/2 or is this just wishful thinking? I would love to hear your answers. Denis

It’s very fake I’m afraid Denis, no doubts at all.

Sorry, Denis; I agree with Luke’s assessment.

Best,

Marcus

Thank you Luke and Marcus for your replies. What I suspected though I am totally puzzled why anyone would put Jennens sliders on them!!! Denis

I would agree with Denis, I remember reading a thread about this badge, but can’t find it now?
