Cap badges -- help required

[glenngenie]

Hi all, I'm new to posting on the forum so hope i'm doing it right!

I have come across these cap badges and collar dogs that I have no idea about and hope the experts on here can tell me if they are original or not.

Having read the thread on the 9th lancers I now have my doubts it is authentic, which brings the whole lot into question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Glenn

Welcome to the GMIC!

Not an expert on badges but the 22nd - 'les Vandoos' - look ok.  I assume it is missing a slider which would have been soldered to the back of the crown.

There is a British Badge Forum with a large section on Canadian as well as British badges and many badge experts too.  https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/forums/.

Hi Peter, thank you for the welcome.

Yes, it is missing the slider as is the Canadian Provost Corps.

I will check out the badge forum, thanks.

I am assuming that the 22nd badge is genuine, BTW, based on my sketchy knowledge of modern Cdn badges and the fact that they are common and inexpensive enough that I can't see there being a market for fakes.  But I've been wrong before!  BBF is your best bet.

hi Peter,

I have posted on the BBF and am awaiting (hopefully) for replies.

Thanks for the suggestion!

now all I have to do is start photographing my medals...…..

Thanks again.

i have had similar feelings about many of my badges....

i enjoy badges because they can be picked up at a good price in groups like this. I used to think if one or two were maker marked, if just one or two were genuine then it was worth it, it turned out maker marks and ‘age’ meant little!

So usually it’s a mixed bag....

Ive shared images of a few of mine and it turns out some that look good are bad and  some the other way.... 

let us know if you got any help on the other forum....

best wishes

tony
