Greetings Gents,
A couple of things I would like to share:
Firstly BC and I were contemplating a trade with this featured badge coming to me. I enquired with BC if this was a Boer War period badge and must congratulate and thank him for being a thoroughly decent chap and taking it upon himself to pose this question to the forum members here on this thread, so a big thank you, not only to BC for being completely open and up front but also to those who have contributed.
Donny - thank you for those very interesting thoughts, which I read with great interest.
I'm pleased to say that the trade BC and I did go ahead and this lovely badge has now arrived, so a couple of updated pics attached for further interest. Just one more way this forum is so great.
Cheers,
Roy
