Old Owl Posted 29 December , 2014 Share Posted 29 December , 2014 It is indeed unbelievable as to how wrong they get things on occasion. The 'expert' commented that the thistle motif on the ball of the grenade meant that there must have been a scots member/connection in the family--in her defence she is an expert in jewellery but should still check her facts before adding 2 and 2 together to get 10!!

high wood Posted 29 December , 2014 Share Posted 29 December , 2014 So by the expert's logic, if the Grenadier Guards officer had a Welsh connection he could have a nice dragon on his flaming grenade cap badge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikB Posted 29 December , 2014 Share Posted 29 December , 2014 Lucky they recognised it as a grenade. Some would've thought it represented a round flowerpot with leaves out the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel Posted 29 December , 2014 Share Posted 29 December , 2014 Another one of the "experts" on Antiques Road Show, Flog It, Bargain Hunt etc., who doesn't have a clue...neither do their minions who allegedly do their research for them before they present their piece to camera. Personally, as the item in question had nine flames on the grenade, I reckoned it was a Scottish Royal Engineers sweetheart brooch.... The piece with the RAF chap's DFC made no mention of him being a member of the RAFVR and their terms of joining, service etc. The VR initials on his unform jacket collar were quite clear in the photograph.
