Bunch of badges - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Hi All,

I have a bunch of badges that were given to me as a child from a military Taylor.

Wondering what they all are and if there is any value?!

I have no idea where to start as I don't know what they are called so can't google or eBay to find out!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Andy

Hello Andy, welcome to the Forum. Your account is active and open for posts.
To get you started, I believe the first image is a Warrant Officer Class 1 rank badge for the Guards. Second image, several US patches and self explanatory correspondent patches. Third image rank chevrons; black on red are for a rifles regiment. Fourth image a mix of skill at arms and qualification badges. Sniper and marksman, artificer, and the red 1 patch is US, 1 Inf Div. Nazi eagle, wehrmacht I believe. This will get you started.

Other than the Nazi badge (if original) the others being modern have very little value. The RSM's badges go for a tenner on ebay.

Some dealers are charging up to about fifty quid for the RSM badge, worn on No.2 dress.

They can charge a thousand pounds if they like, dont get me started on some of these "Militaria Dealers" websites and their ridiculous prices for common, fake or wrongly described badges, but a QC badge doesnt bring big money in the real world I am afraid. They are both available as official items and Far East manufactures.

I am not quite sure what a military tailor would be doing with Russian badges, perhaps they supplied the embassy?
