52nd Foot ( Oxfordshire Light Infantry ) - Comparison between an original glengarry badge and a modern copy

I thought this pictorial comparison may be of interest to collectors as collecting glengarry badges, which have reproduced by Fox in the late Victorian period and by others since the 1970s onwards, is an area fraught with uncertainty. Things to note in particular are the colour of the brass, the metal used for the retaining loops, the shape of the numerals and the colour of the reverse, plus the fineness of the design of the ribbon top and the tassels. Any observations welcome and may be included here.
