This morning's haul, I'm happy with all except the CARDIFF badge, but for a quid it was worth a punt, the reversed metal East Lancashire has a sweat hole behind the rose.
Tony.

Cardif looks wrong to me. Not seen North-South lugs before. I notice the large feet on HLI lugs which I think is good on some Scottish badges. Regards, Paul.

16th Welsh is the common fake I’m afraid. Sunken zombie eyed seahorse. I’ve never seen an original lugged N-S but perhaps one of the Welch guru’s can confirm?
Cheers,
Luke

At least it is an unusual fake! I was hoping for the best with it being N S on the lugs.

Nothing ventured nothing gained on Cardiff badge, the HLI I like, not the more usual short scroll type.
Thanks Tony.

I particularly like the JTC badge.
