Some cloth finds.
 

From this years SOS. Some interesting titles. 3 being bullion and likely from the post war, Korean war era. The Indian titles may well be post independence.
The red V I believe is the Northumberland Fusiliers. Blue flamed trench mortar. The red flamed with wreath I am unsure, have not found a reference too it yet.

thanks

Jack,

Can you please show the rear of the two grenade badges, the red and blue ones.

thanks

Reverse.

Thanks,

Firstly the blue one is a Trench Mortar Gunner. Usually all blue rather than just blue flames.

The second is very unusual. It is clearly representing an Infantry Bomber, BUT, most unusually it has a wreath around it like most British/Commonwealth trade badges, which is unofficial and I have not seen before. Also it is all red rather than just red flames (the opposite of the TMG badge above)

You also have an inter war/WW2 Bullion rank badge of a Warrant Officer Class 1 (RSM usually) and a crossed rifles surmounted by a crown prize badge or Sgt Instructors badge (worn over his chevrons)

Nice badges which I would love to own. I am quite envious. PM me if you wish to part with any or all of the 4.

regards

Thank you Simon for that information. the red flamed bomb jumped out at me from the pile of signs I was sifting through.

Here is another I took a chance on. It is my understanding this badge has been reproduced. Blue tank vs Black Tank??. Would anyone venture a guess as to period made or later on this piece?

thanks
Jack

The Bomber Badge is the later all red version as Simon said very unusual and unofficial in the wreath. The TM badge might be a variant based on the Bombers badge (or possibly an officer version???). I am sure Grumpy will weigh in once he spots this thread.

I have just realised that the Grenade in wreath badge was worn by early NZ Engineer Units upto c. 1910 as a Field Engineering proficiency badge.

Mine is in all red on a blue background, presumably for undress uniform, but perhaps they also had a SD version which yours may be.

This may be one of those

Great help fellas. The possible NZ link is interesting. There were no other NZ pieces in the group these came from, but never say never. Did anyone have a thought on the AT badge??

You guys are the best
Jack

Jack,

It looks fine to me.

regards

And me.

Jon

thank you Simon and Jon
