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

Whatever its just an opinion.
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.

Thank you for pointing that out Jerry. Yes, I was referring to the initial badge.

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."
added another motto which arrived today, c. great war w/m on a slider
