Default TA Lapel Badges

I have a 1950s vintage TA lapel badge in my hand numbered 504044. Is there a register of these numbers that would identify the owner? Mike

Mike,

I am unaware of a list. These badges were issued by the local TA Association, who were supposed to maintain records, therefore I would suggest that they have been binned years ago.

It won't help Mike's quest for an original list of badge holders but other Forum members might like to see this example of the receipt signed when the badge was issued - in this case before WW2 - which also shows that there is no correlation between the individual soldier's number and the badge number.

Jon,
Thanks. The badge in question was found today in a box of my late father's model making tools - and I was hoping it was his (issued c 1950) when he joined 47 (HC) Fd Amb RAMC (TA) and their Dental Officer/Officers' Mess Wines Member. Mike
