CYCLISTS BADGE
2 Attachment(s)
I would like to obtain a genuine example of an Army Cyclists Corps cap badge but realise there are tons of restikes out there ... what should I be looking for please? This is one I own which is unlikely to be be a good one !
|
Can anyone out there help me out with pointers of what to look for in a genuine badge and also let me know if this is OK or not ?
|
If I was buying one then I would want to see a period slider shape, well struck reverse detail and genuine period toning.
You have a modern slider shape, poor detail and artificial aging. Alan |

Thank you Alan ... that is really helpful , can you show me an example of a period slider shape ? Also were these done with lugs as well ? The reason for my interest is that I ride a WW1 bicycle ...

Hi RAD,
this is the back of one I have, to compare: Cheers, Tim |
I have never seen a lugged one I would buy. The Cyclist Corps was formed in 1914 after sliders were the norm. There were TF Cyclists units beforehand but they tended to wear their own cap badge.

Cyclist badge
One of the reasons l just cannot get interested in other ranks badges is ipitomised here with collectors advising what to look for, one of them being good definition to the reverse of the badge. What, pray tell is good about the reverse of chippers badge, it looks appalling. It’s things like this that make it so difficult to make an informed judgment as to the authenticity of run of the mill mass produced “original” badges.
