Default XII ROYAL LANCERS
I just recieved this badge in yesterdays mail. I did some research on the forum before I bought it and the only info was that it should have 3 lugs and a braizehole. I think I did O.K. but am looking for confirmation from the experts . Thanks.

Jim the badge looks ok to me, it has like you say a sweat hole and 3 lugs, also the right type of feathers and a good striking imo a genuine badge well done.

Looks good to me too. Brazing hole looks as though drilled perhaps by an avid collector. Notice the blank striking of the coronet at the rear. I'd be happy with it all the best Sean.

I would have that one in my collection. You also find the large hole on lugged 3rd Dragoon Guards badges.

A good specimen of a fairly rare Cavalry badge, nice to see real badges on the forum.

Looks good to me and is much the same as mine below, which I am certain is an original. Well done with your purchase.

Cheers
Chris
