max7474 Posted 27 November , 2004 Share Posted 27 November , 2004 I am looking for some expert knowledge on 1915-37 Kings Dragoon Guards badges. I have seen a lot of obvious copies whose reverse are blank where the brass centre piece is. I have also seen one or two like in the picture where the KDG has been stamped through. Finally I once saw a delaer who staed that the originals had a substantial hole stamped thorugh the back where the reverse of the brass centre piece could be seen. Anyone know for sure?
