The one with the hollow gun is WWI, the one with it looks a bit iffy to me. It could be an officers self purchace version though???
The two metal badges look ok from here. They where normally worn in hot climates, so they could be taken off to wash the uniform. I believe they are both from between the wars, the longer one being slightly older. The other cloth badge would be WWII till the 60s. A good rule of thumb is if the gun is horizontal it’s WWI and raised is pre WW2 onwards. But that doesn’t stand for bullion wired badges. Hope this helps! Mark. |

Thank you Mark for your response and help.
Yes, the 1st one I found amongst a lot of various cloth badges titles etc from a curious shop about 20 years ago, not for very much. Ive always been a little dubious about it. And quite good news about the metal badges being possibly OK :-) Do any photos exist of the metal badges being worn? Thank you again, appreciated |
