The Cheshire Regiment
Hi all, I picked up this selection of Cheshire Regiment badges at this past weekend's gun show. I'm not up on British badges so I'm hoping the British brothers can answer some questions I have.
1. What era are these badges? 2. The "star" badge has J&Co makers stamp in the back. Is this Jennings and Co? I'll post pics of the reverse shortly. Cheers, Greg Last edited by GregN; 20-03-17 at 11:57 PM. Reason: adding photos

Hi Greg, look here in makers mark section, see notes regarding dates of marks use.

Thanks Tony, so the Jenings marked badge is earlier, possibly WW1 era and the unmarked badge is WW2? These both appear to be officers badges but I would like confirmation just to be sure.
The buttons are also marked JENINGS & CO LONDON. The collar is bi-metal but unmarked. Greg

Greg the unmarked cap badge is the 1898-1922 pattern according to Gaylor's book. However this pattern I think was for OR's. It is not the type of construction I have seen us on this badge before....
Cheers Tony.

Greg,
If you look up the thread Cheshire Regt N.C.O.s cap badge you will find a similar badge as well as an LF one I had got from the same source. Sorry I cannot seem to provide a link on my iPad Paul
