Hello Dave,
Thank you for the link. I find the badges all 'kinda' wrong. On the East Surreys, there are no sweatholes, an amazingly long slider and a J R Gaunt circular cartouche that puzzles me. There is a perfectly usual pagri for the East Surreys, admittedly over copied, so why this one? I'd expect the helmet plate centre to have a long slider and all the sliders seen to be the same colour. Further more I believe, but have no evidence that the QVC pagri badge was worn on the slouch hat that came back from South Africa. Matti Last edited by matti467; 08-02-10 at 07:09 PM.

What a terrible batch of padges, anyone who bids on any one of them needs their head seeing to - but someone will.
The East Surrey pagri always has a pin and is a unique design, although an HPC with vertical shank is feasable alternative I've yet to see one. Last edited by Keith Blakeman; 08-02-10 at 07:55 PM.

That's a bit of alright mate.....................nice one, a point I've never fully been clear on, did the long slider slip behind the Puggaree ( not too safe, me thinks ), or was there always a pocket for it to fit into and....................did the broach feed through the Puggaree band ???? similar to any brooch ??
Only 'cause I don't know !! Dave.

Good to hear your words of wisdom on this subject Keith. I mention the HPC pagri as I have a half memory of Lew Shotton having one on his list but, as in most things I am quite happy to be wrong.
Those Gaunt cards are really bad and verge on serious disinformation Matti

You're quite right, Lew has one in his listings with a clipped vertical shank.

Firstly, I have seen a WO tender for HPCs with long sliders - I'll have to check to see if E Surr are on it.
Secondly, the ACD produced a special socket for these things to be slotted into. In other words they were not bnecessarily worn on a 'pagri'. I'll look up details when I can.
