Silver Plate Ox & Bucks collar badge
Hi,
Is this Collar or part title of a type worn on the Beret by the 2nd Bn Ox and Bucks c.WW2. I have been looking for a 2 Lugged example but this has one hex type lug. I'm sure it is silver plated with some brass in places showing through. although I have not seen a one lugged type attributed to the 2nd. Thanks Paul

I've little doubt that you're already aware of this site & it's info. relating to the badge worn on the FSC, CFSC & beret.
Might be worth contacting the gent who runs it. Any IWM info. on the badge in its various forms, they tend to specify fittings? http://www.lightbobs.com/headdress.html Last edited by leigh kitchen; 29-11-17 at 05:52 PM.

Hi Liegh,
I guess you mean Lightbobs, I know the gent but only recieved the badge today. I will send him an email asking about the fitting. I was wandering if anyone else had come across this type, for some reason I presumed they would all be on two lugs Thanks Paul

I don't believe they wore collars at that time,I think it was corded buttons worn after the use of ORs collars ceased in the early 20thc.but an LI expert would know more than I do on that. The hex type fixing had been in existence since at least 1902, and seems a reasonable choice for this collar. The early Gaunt catalogues give a choice of fixing including the type on this collar.

I have been reliably informed it is not a Collar but a bugle part of a shoulder title. These are found with the single fixing and two lugs.
Collars were not worn from the 1880's by other ranks and it was the ST bugle wore by the 2nd Bn in the Beret,I have still not heard from Lightbobs if he knows if the fitting on my example is known also to have been worn. Paul

I have heard back from Lightbobs, he has not came across this single fixing type himself. He also said that all Bn's less the Bucks wore the ST bugle type badge.
Paul If anyone has similar it would be good to know

I've yet to encounter a 2nd Bn OBLI beret with this one lugged version, so far Ive seen two and three lugged versions, either in WM or plated. Rgds, Thomas.

I think the single hex lug goes back further than 1902.

Rob Aren't they both King's Crowns, by definition dating from 1902 onwards? Rgds, Thomas

Hi Paul
Missed your post as I was swamped in November. But better late than never. Here are a pair of post WW2 single lugged w/m bugles. Not common but they do turn up occasionally. Presumably used by 4 OBLI as collars, possibly also part of the KSLI w/m shoulder title, even the DLI two piece w/m pre-1952 title if it was ever worn. Bugles Type 09 O.jpg Bugles Type 09 R.jpg There are also post war a/a and chromed three lugged versions. Source info on who wore what and when gratefully received.
