wulsten Posted 29 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 29 November , 2009 The scrolling to the base appears shorter than others that i have seen or am i wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 29 November , 2009 Share Posted 29 November , 2009 Wulsten has a point. The pointed ends of the scrolls appear to be missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 29 November , 2009 Share Posted 29 November , 2009 From the images appearance it may have been "retouched" by the Photographer & the Tips of the riband omitted as they may not have shown up in the original print {especially if an all Brass economy issue Badge} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Stewart Posted 30 November , 2009 Share Posted 30 November , 2009 Agree with Harry - it does look as though the scroll ends have been "clipped". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max7474 Posted 10 December , 2009 Share Posted 10 December , 2009 yes that one in the 1920s onwards but that is a post WW1 badge. It is not the badge in you photo either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
