Comparisons: 10th Royal Hussars

[Harry Man of Kent]

Not a rare badge, but what a difference between two makers.

On the left a HW Timings BHam which totally outshines a slightly smaller inferior Firmin London.

Lovely deep gold lustre to the Timings. On the reverse which I have't photographed the Timings is all silver with a high slider position compared to the Firmin, which is all gold on the back.

Hi Harry,

Yes, manufacturers variations are quite common and for these two badges quite wide.

If you want to see another set of differences between makers check out the Gaunt and S&W Royal Scots Greys.

Also check out the badge of 11th Hussars, described as a pillar charged with the Arms of Saxony rising out of a ducal coronet.

Gaunt badge has a wide pillar, whilst the Firmin version is very much narrower.

Thanks, I have two versions, so I will have a good look .
