Article about: Hello all, I would please like some opinions on this motto i found. Is there any chance this is a cap badge from ww1/ww2 era? There are many variants out there and i feel like i'm overloaded

    these Firmin marked badges are 100% genuine but are WWII and slightly later in date of use.

    I believe it is a repro due to the eyes. A true 17th badge has the eyes come to a distinct point in the back. The eyes on this one seem shallow and flat.

    which motto, the firmin I showed is 100% genuine and is a well known version, though if you mean the thread starter then it has already been deemed top be a fake.

    Officers silver motto added here for reference;

    17th Lancers or 17/21st Lancers officers silver motto
    "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
