All Gold K.S.L.I anodised
Hi Gents,
Thought I'd show this all gold Kings Shropshire Light Infantry cap badge. Nice early badge with a scarce makers name - R.A Hughes Ltd. Possibly one of the earliest factory cock ups of an anodised badge? I'm sure Chris (Hagwalther) will know. Regards Colin |

"... and what idiot filled the colour dye bath with gold instead of silver..." Followed by: "...and what idiot then sealed the badge without noticing the wrong colour..." Good find Colin! Regards, Chris |

I saw an 'all gold' AA King's Regt badge a few years ago. The dealer was trying to convince me that it was a bandsman's badge !!! Perhaps I should have bought it as a curiosity but he was asking a silly price for it.
