Hi All
I received this little lot today and am very happy with them!
Officers badges in what appears to be fire-gilt and silver overlays. Stunning matched set!
Cheers,
Alex

Dear Alex.

I saw this excellent set of badges for sale on a South African site recently. As I am lucky enough to have the same set I did not bid.

I did not see the final price but as I recall they went for a song.

If it was you who won them Alex very well done. Really excellent condition and quite genuine as an Officer's Silver and Gilt set.

Very unusual to see all five badges to come up for sale at one go.

Well done.

Hi Chris
Yes, that was the set. I was hoping you didn't see them because as soon as I saw them I thought you'd be interested! Glad you didn't bid because they did go for a song, as you said.
Cheers,
Alex

What are the smallest badges for, mess dress? Can't seem to find the info on Chris' otherwise exellent website either.

Rgds, Thomas.

Dear Thomas.

Yes you are quite right. Officer's Cap badge and set of collar badges in Gilt and Silver.

The very small set is indeed Mess Dress collars as you say.

Nice set if you can get them. They tend to come in odds and sods and not a set of five badges very often, at least in my experience.

Best wishes

Here is my set, not as nice as yours Alex, or yours Chris, I will have to look for some better ones.
Cheers Phil.

[Alex Rice]

Still nice though!

Thanks chris and Alex for the confirmation. Lovely little badges.

Rgds, Thomas.

Well I have made a start, I just need a pair of Gilt and Silver Collar badges.
No where near as nice as Alex's or Chris's, but I am getting there.

Quite frankly, minus the collars I think they are just as nice as my ones, probably just better light when I took my photo. Great looking badges, thanks for showing them.
I hope that means 2017 is starting well for you and continues in that vane!
Cheers,
Alex

Thanks very much for your encouragement Alex. I will continue collecting.
Best wishes, Phil.
