Hey guys i have also been offered this naval destroyer badge as well as a minesweeper badge (on an earlier thread), this has been offered to me for £30 which is still a good price considering the damage but i just want to make sure that it is genuine first and i was hoping that you guys could tell me please
Thanks, Glen.

Blimey Glenn! That's a bit rough! I can't remember which makers used a vertical pin set up. Maybe look into that first?
Sorry I can't help more at the moment but I'm away from home.

Glen,These pieces are pretty rough and the replacement pin and catch are reversed as to known pieces!Maybe you could wait and get a nicer piece as they are around and if i see one for sale i will message you.They are to beat up,but i cant tell you how to spend your money.Good Luck.Carl

Geez, Glenn...

Original of course.

Several makers used vertical pins: Souval, FO, Foerster & Barth L/21, etc.

This might be an FO.

Cheers, Ade.

Hey guys, thank you all for your help. I know it is by now means mint but i like it and has alot of character to it and for £30 i also like the price I was thinking that the replacement horizontal catch looks like it from a ribbon bar perhaps it has been replaced during the war?
Thanks, Glen.

[Adrian Stevenson]

It is possible Glen. Your money....

Cheers, Ade.

Glen, how is that pin arrangement attached to the badge? Is it just glued on?
