Default THE BIG CAST BADGE THREAD
We would like to pull together images and information on cast badges, that's 'sandcast' or 'theatre made' badges.
Brian Conyngham will be managing this, collecting images and data and eventually placing the pictures in a dedicated album.

If you would like to contribute, images can be placed in this thread or sent to Brian.

A great idea. Here are my sand cast badges, if they are any good to you, sorry I have not got back pictures for some of them.

Default re: Dedicated Cast Badge BBF Album
Hi All

Firstly I would just like to say I am no expert in this field (I doubt anyone is, sadly with the passing of time all we have are snippits of information regards these badges). However they have always held a special place in my collection, as they were "made and worn in theatres of combat".

I have had a thread going in the Soth African section for some time and have noted that there is an interest in these badges from UK collectors. Link here: http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ad.php?t=21443

I would therefore really like to gather as much info, images/variations that anyone might have, and who are prepared to share with the rest of the BBF.

An Album dedicated to these badges will soon be opened, please keep the images and info coming. Sadly like all of us my time is limited, however, I will keep the Cast Badge Thread updated regularly.

Thanking you all.

Regards
Brian
