I have a couple of Bullion embroidered badges.
I have been through India and Pakistan references on the internet with no luck. Can any one ID them for me please.

Doodles,

Both thoroughly British and not made in India or Pakistan.

The first is to the Royal Navy and is the arm badge of a Chief Stoker from 1914-1932, the from 1932 -1948 known as a Mechanician.

The second badge is a Prize badge for swordsmanship worn on the lower left arm in Cavalry Regiments of the Army and indicates the best swordsman in a troop.

If you wish to sell the swordsman badges please send me a PM as I collect such badges.

regards
