Hi Connaught,
Looks like a genuine Tiptaft Birmingham made badge, in use with pre-war militia (not sure from what date) through WW1 and until about 1926. In 1926 the unit became the Royal Canadian Medical Corps. Cheers, Ian. |

I agree it is a solid badge for the Ordinary Rank fellow
Ian what tells you it is likely Tiptaft? Raymond |

Pre-1926 pattern badge. No problems with it. It is a fairly common badge.

The half-round wire lugs with long "feet" are a good indication of Tiptaft manufacture. I'd say the majority of (but not all) Tiptaft badges from this time period have this style of lugs. Cheers, Ian. |

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the tiptaft info. I have a number of South African badges c.WWI with these lugs, some marked Tiptaft but most not marked. Could not get my head around whether these lugs made this a good or bad badge, but your informative note has brought some clarity. Thanks Steven |

Couple of varriations but trying to nail down a date for each
I was wondering if there is a way to have a more accurate date for a couple of my collar dogs.
I have attached 5 versions that I have found (to date) in my collection. Looking at Mazeas they could be MS25 MS26 MS27 or Charlton 85-1-1-??. Who out there can please help me out? I am finding that, what I thought I knew wasn't nearly enough Chris

I was giving a closer look today at example "B" with somewhat less tired eyes. I am now of the opinion that this collar is an example of M25 Mazeas. I am wondering if anyone would agree?
Chris
