Default Robin Hood Rifles selection

Hi all,

Would like to share some Robin Hood Rifles badges that I was fortunate to pick up from Les Martin kindly via Paul Spellman.

They are:

Two Robin Hood Rifles GM glengarry badges dating 1874-1902 and worn on the side cap from 1895. Replaced with King's Crown version worn 1902-1905 on the glengarry badge and on the Bush Hat in South Africa. Blackened versions noted.

A Robin Hood Rifles blackened pouch badge with 3 screw fittings 1874-1902. 7.5 x 6.5cm

A Robin Hood Rifles Dress Cap KC badge in blackened metal for Rifleman. 1905-1908. Silver for Officers and WM for NCOs.

Bandsmans Cross Belt KC badge in WM with single screw fitting for the 7th (Robin Hoods) Battalion Sherwood Foresters - 1908-1953. Cap badges noted in silver for Officers, blackened for ORs and BM for NCOs.

Pair of T 7 Notts & Derby shoulder titles Gaunt marked and a single unmarked T 7 Notts & Derby shoulder title. White metal versions are known.

Enjoy, cheers Dean.

Dean,

A nice selection. By coincidence I picked up 3 cap badges last week which may be of interest.
The first appears to by nickel or silver plated.
The second in BB
The third is GM but doesnt appear to have been ever blackened.

I will be selling these.

regards
