28th Artist Rifles County of London Solid Brass Collar Badge
I have acquired this badge and cannot find any reference or comparisons to it, I am thinking that it must be quite a rare badge.
It is solid brass with no makers marks on it. Does anybody have any information about it? |

As your title and post says it’s a cast 28th Bn (Artists) London Reg collar badge. Probably theatre made in a bazaar. Not as desirable as a British made collar IMHO.

Thanks Luke, I will have to do some more digging as the badge is extremely well made certainly doesn't look to have been made in a bazaar but i guess thats possible.

My first thought was an OSD collar badge.

I agree with JT. The badge is a poor casting. Pitting and poor definition to Mars and Minerva’s face. From the toning of the loops I believe it is a period piece but from the method of manufacture it could have been made last week in Indian or Pakistan.
These ones show quality and really are well made... https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/a...9-a539015bf9c4 I see you have it listed for sale already on eBay for £50!!! https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/WW1-28th-Ar...8AAOSwukVbK1aR to be frank you’re having a bubble, closer to a fiver I’d say.

Hi All.
Many thanks for all of your responses, apologies if I have offended anyone with my actions and maybe I should have disclosed that the badge would be sold as I am a dealer not just of badges but many things. I do hold a genuine interest in military items and I do collect certain things. As for the price, of course its a flyer I have nothing to compare it to and therefore the price has been set high. Again apologies if anyone is offended. |
