Really great Iain, a very good set to get. Well done. Andrew

Uugh, terrible. I'll PM you my address so they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner...:D

Nice badges, cheers,
Alex

Thanks Andrew,

have you seen the large badge before?

regards, Iain

HaHa Alex,

I'm sure they would be disposed of......

but thanks :rolleyes:

regards, Iain

Hi Iain, it looks like a chromed copy of the pre 1910 badge. What did they say it's use is currently? Regards Andrew

Hi Andrew,

yes, it is. Apparently the badge of 1910, O449, was worn by RSMs and Officers above the rank of Major and the OC. This is now reintroduced in chrome.

Apparently NMR also do something similar with the prancing horse badge of the same same period; either O463 or 465

regards, Iain

Hi Iain
Yes, the OC of NMR has been wearing the old prancing horse badge with the 'Just and Frank' motto for quite a while now, maybe the last 20 years or so. Must have found a stock of them in the stores or something.
Cheers,
Alex

Very nice indeed Iain!

Regards
Craig

TRF
 

Hi Nice set, can you show a clearer picture of the TRf please?
thanks
Bob

Very nice indeed, Iain, glad to see that some traditions are being maintained in these difficult times.

Hi Bob,

not actually a TRF as worn on the shoulder but a backing for the badge.
Origins are in a helmet flash
