unvoided 1916 ASC
Hi
In another thread, I came across a reference to the un-pierced ASC cap badge, and points out that it was a rather short lived experiment. (c. June '16 - c.Nov '16) I've no reason to doubt that at all, but my question is; if the production of un-pierced ASC badges only lasted 5-6 months, doesn't that make it a fairly rare badge? I seem to come across them everywhere. Or maybe they were just produced in very high numbers? Colin

Colin,
the fact that they may have only been produced for a short period does not mean the period of wear would have been the same, they would have been issued in most cases until stocks run out and in large numbers as you say! But they are scarcer than the voided pattern!  Andy

Alley Slopers Cavalry 1916 issue
According to statistics there were over a million men who served in the ASC during WWI, economy versions were produced in their thousands, but the voided pattern as Andy says is far more common.
