I've been offered this badge but I'm not sure how to spot the difference between a good and bad badge
What do you think??

lousy pics but looks ok.

**Frazer** · 09-15-2014, 07:38 PM

Sorry these are the best I have.
Looking at the detail, it looks good to me but it's difficult with these WW1 badges.

I have moved this thread to the Imperial section where you should find your answers.
Also, straight on photos would help.

Unfortunately I've yet to be given further images if the above badge do I thought that I would ask your opinion of this one:

Good or bad?
I've seen a few of these recently and was concerned that makers marks for these we're rare which got my paranoia going.

I think it is oK?

**Frazer** · 09-16-2014, 08:49 PM

Which one?

**Adrian Stevenson** · 09-17-2014, 07:37 AM

The last one you posted is the one I was referring too. (This is why we always prefer one item per thread to prevent any confusion.)

But the first one appears OK too.

Cheers, Ade.

Finally managed to get some better images of the first badge!
Any opinions would be really appreciated!
I'm particularly interested in your thoughts about the leaves round the badge as I've never seen this type before

Hello Frazer
I have seen a few of these & have noticed that they all have a thinning of
the wreath at the 11 o'clock position. Member bigmacglenn1966 has a
cut-out one of these: https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/imper...eichen-350933/
I also have noticed that there are two gold cut-outs of these currently on eMedals for what it is worth.
I quite like the design.

Regards
Brett
