My new WW1 officers badge
Hi all
Here is a new badge for the collection. A true WW1 officers cap badge. It has all the characteristics you would expect to see from a British made item. Great quality, bronze with prongs, voided design and a recognized manufacturers mark from a company that produced officers badges. As you can probably gather, I'm pretty happy. Enjoy BC |

This pattern cap/collar badge is a distinctive type. I have seen them in black, brown oxy and gilt/ brass. No doubt they were WW1 officer private purchase.
There is a famous picture of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith wearing them in a famous WW1 picture. You might find the picture on Google if you look. |

thanks kingsley
i have a mate with an AFC uniform with this type collar in gilt, attached to the collar with lugs. given this has blades, wouldnt it be classed as a cap badge rather than collar although it is the same size? bc |

hi jack
will try and post pics of the uniform as soon as I get the ok from the owner. im sure he will be ok with it but just want to make sure. hi Jas, thanks for the pic but I don't think its the bronze OSD badge being worn like the one I have. I think its the same design but gilt version as on this AFC uniform Jack wants to see. hopefully I will get the pics up asap bc |

Small officer's rising sun cap badge
No idea where this image came from, so apologies now if it's owned or copyright. I think it proves that the small badge was worn in the cap. I've always kept it in the hope of getting one one day.
