Northamptonshire AA T&S

[James G]

I have just bought an Anodised Aluminium Northamptonshire Regiment badge marked " T&S " on the slider. Can anyone tell me which company used this mark.

Hi James

Not my scene but could this be J W Tiptaft & Son Ltd?

Toye and Spencer later TKS when they added Kenning.

Hi James,
This is a very early maker of anodised aluminium cap badges. It is actually made by a company in Birmingham called Turner & Simpson.
They produced other British Military badges including R.A.O.C, R.A and R.E badges usually with metal sliders.
Turner & Simpson were primarily silversmiths but in the early days of anodised aluminium did produce military badges.
They had to my knowledge no involvement with Toye Kenning & Spencer.
Hope this answers your post.
Best regards

This is correct.

The marks on the badges came in two styles being just a simple 'T&S' stampled into the slider or as part of a relief where the 'T&S' is proud. Both markings are scarce and worth looking out for.
