Hi Jerry..... i have the first one pegged as The Royal Welsh... Just looked at the third and there is that little bit left of the scroll... Nice one mate. Wouldn't have noticed that or thought of it as chopped even... nice one. Cheers from the 'Diff' ! tony

Hi Peter i meant it was yours if I kick the bucket - currently no plans to do so! tony

Hi Gents i'm battling through a sort out/ rummage/ to put my 'stuff' in some order I can share with you Gents. Eventually it all will look like this. when I'm done? Royal Army Pay Corps Royal Corps of Signals The Royal Engineers I've got a lot of buttons*... Some badges and bits... Some match and that's what I'm sorting through. Royal Gurkha Rifles (?) I haven't really sought anything here it is all picked up with other items I wanted or things cost Very little. So there will surely be some pics of 'unlikely to be original' things that I would enjoy any opinions of.... if you Gents would like of course? For example - these are all currently available copied.... So fingers crossed.... Hope you like Gents tony Edit middle one dodgey? t

Hi Gents I'm missing one I think I have but have dug out these..... Surely no-one is faking these staybrite yet! This next one is the one I think might be dodgey? The back looks flat not as vaulted as others..... this next one I haven't labelled but might be Welsh.... hope you like Gents comments always welcome whatever! tony

Hi Mike another interesting read thanks.... tony

Nice one, thanks Jerry, i appreciate the reply... ive definitely got a doubtful one (reverse) of those and I think another one that may be proper. im not sure of the spelling on them mind. ill have a rummage for them and share a coupla pics..... tony

Nice one Peter, glad you like it. it was in need of a good home as were most of my ww1 'club' Although the face looks good in the pic, the rim is quite well 'clanked', I think it was worn quite often.... tony ((Ps Peter.. I'll put your name on it. Just in case I shuffle on. I'm only 47 but you never know !!))

Hi Gents some more pics tony

Hi Gents i got this today and although a German item I thought it would be right to share here first...., Vimy Kirche/ Vimy Church tony

Hi Gents this fella landed this morning nothing on the back sadly.... tony

Hi Gents tony

Hi Gents, Jerry, could you tell me which cap badge that would be? Now I know I've 'got' an XL collar dog not a cap badge! cheers tony

Hi Gents Generally I suppose it's just a simple AVM. but it was issued to a someone who deserved it and I'm 'looking after it' at the moment. So for the record.... 5388 SEPOY SHADI 1-6 JAT L INFY tony

Hi Gents Nothing to shout about but I want to share these with names for 'the record'. If anyone named is special to you please let me know.... Btw. the first - 2326 Sjt J Coghlan Royal Artillery Is probably the only 'extra fine' medal I have! please add your own if you fancy... hope you like Gents

Morning Chris I bet they disappoint shall we say tony

Hi Gents i really like this thread.... tony

Hi Gents tony

Hi Gents A suspiciously resourceful eBay seller likes to list his 'original' wound badge then coupla days later happens to have a copy certificate too - listed as such mind - by coincidence! i guess someone sells copies together with certs... Chris, I hope you don't mind me chipping in with this too.... i googled a makers stamp today and found these reproductions for sale. What chance have we got when the companies themselves churn out perfect copies already fraudulently stamped. Im sick of seeing these for sale - particularly the feldmutze - and them getting sold for big bucks..., thought I'd share these ones tony

Thanks both your info is much appreciated tony

No doubts now about it being a copy! Thanks for posting the pics Jerry the difference in the two is clear to see and I love that one of them in wear....... tony

Result! tony
