Very nice badge, Julian, worth in the region of £100. Ws are most likely collars, given the lugs.

Very jealous.

Regards,

Phil

The W would have been worn by the female officers with there "collar" number ie W1234.
Nice badge's to have
I recently brought one of these after a long time trying to get one.

Hello Julian,

I really can't add any more to the comments already made, but just wanted to write and congratulate you on a lovely badge. These non military war-time badges are a fascinating top. Well done indeed.

Best wishes, Roy

Ha Ha Jerry wishes

I believe that particular set belongs to 'Altcar73'.

Yeah, the picture was to show what there is out there and not in my collection. Sorry if this gave that impression but the picture is on the forum

Is this evidense that white metal (pre 1908 volunteer style) general service buttons continued to be manufactured after 1908?
