Bunch of badges
Hi All,
I have a bunch of badges that were given to me as a child from a military Taylor. Wondering what they all are and if there is any value?! I have no idea where to start as I don't know what they are called so can't google or eBay to find out! Any help greatly appreciated. Andy |

Hello Andy, welcome to the Forum. Your account is active and open for posts.
To get you started, I believe the first image is a Warrant Officer Class 1 rank badge for the Guards. Second image, several US patches and self explanatory correspondent patches. Third image rank chevrons; black on red are for a rifles regiment. Fourth image a mix of skill at arms and qualification badges. Sniper and marksman, artificer, and the red 1 patch is US, 1 Inf Div. Nazi eagle, wehrmacht I believe. This will get you started.

Other than the Nazi badge (if original) the others being modern have very little value. The RSM's badges go for a tenner on ebay.

Some dealers are charging up to about fifty quid for the RSM badge, worn on No.2 dress.

They can charge a thousand pounds if they like, dont get me started on some of these "Militaria Dealers" websites and their ridiculous prices for common, fake or wrongly described badges, but a QC badge doesnt bring big money in the real world I am afraid. They are both available as official items and Far East manufactures.

Cloth badges
I am not quite sure what a military tailor would be doing with Russian badges, perhaps they supplied the embassy?
