South Notts Hussars

Hi all,

Recent purchase I thought I would share.

South Nottinghamshire Hussars with what Chris Marsh describes in his tome
as 1 of the rarest Firmin backmarks.

Enjoy

Cheers Tony.

Hello Gordon,
I believe I had the pleasure of selling you that badge. Glad you like it.
Regards.

Cheers, Gordon.

Enviable badge, rare marque.

Here's another one; but this is Gold AA.

The pics are not great, I know, but it really is Gold AA, not some sort of dark silver or discoloration.

Maybe this is doubly rare?

Awra best to all

Never seen a gold 1. I have 3 with diffeent makers marks & all silver.
Maybe yous is extra rare.

Good afternoon.

I wouldn't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I would make so bold as to suggest, not as rare as the attributed hallmarked silver South Notts Hussars example, on cap, with mess-jacket, currently sitting on my desk. Assayed Birmingham 1908-9 with a sponsor's mark of J&Co., if memory serves me correctly.

Only example I have ever seen: I'd be interested in learning of any similar example our SNH specialist collectors may have to hand.

Enjoy.

This is a thread devoted to Agonised Ally cap-badges.

Nevertheless, we look forward to seeing your rarity.

Pictures, please, Silver Tourist!

Cheers
