Whilst I also have Hobson marked items, this is the only Welsh unit specific item that I have ever seen with a Welsh based maker or retailer. This one is marked to J Aronson a jeweller based in Bangor, North Wales.

Haven't got too much Glam R.V stuff.

Here's a 18th (Cowbridge) R.V shako badge (meauring 7cm x 7cm) to go with that button.

Now..... is this a "gilding metal" 4th Glamorgan Rifle Vols?

[fonmon]

quite possibly, it has the plain ribbons, It was Bryn Owen who identified it as being for the 4th Glam RV, I think partially because of the location it was found, cheers Mike

If you want it I can give you the link via PM.... (reasonably priced as well)...... its being sold as a 10th Hussars NCO Arm badge ....as usual.

Thanks for the offer, I don't buy many badges these days, medals are costing me enough. cheers mike
