themonsstar Posted 3 November , 2009 Share Posted 3 November , 2009 You could try the Manchester Regiment site at http://themanchesters.org/ or try the Manchester Regt Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphjd Posted 3 November , 2009 Share Posted 3 November , 2009 Difficult to tell from a photograph if a badge is genuine or not, I do know that the Manchester underneath the coat of arms had two differences in the size/length of the word Manchester, if you see what I mean.

27thBN Posted 4 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 4 November , 2009 Yes I know what you are getting at. I have quite few but the Manchester one looks almost to good to be true detail is fantastic some badges that i have look better than others but the detail on this badge is superb .I will take a picture see what you think ,probably a better idea than the other way around thanks MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffsyeoman Posted 13 November , 2009 Share Posted 13 November , 2009 A picture of the back always helps determine; some can look convincing from the front but have their flaws hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27thBN Posted 13 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 13 November , 2009 ok will do so ASAP Thanks MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max7474 Posted 13 November , 2009 Share Posted 13 November , 2009 This is a genuine one. Repros are very good so a picture of the back will indeed help. The slider is often the give away. And the front. There were lots of these made so their are minor die variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27thBN Posted 14 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 14 November , 2009 It looks fine to me. Max Thanks I have no real knowledge on cap badges and wrongly assumed that most if not all if looked ok were real it was only after reading various posts on the internet had a realization that a lot of cap badges have been remade ,very well but still not originals and genuine is what collectors all want ,as above for every new regiment i get a group of medals to i try to get a cap badge to go with them so far so good . I cant post all of them here but will go to another forum thanks to a member here and ask MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
