Few badges to discuss
Hi all,
I went trough my junk boxes and find few badges that I do not need and/or even don't know what they are. I am planning to stick them up on sale, so any information regards the originality before that would be great. Also period when they are made and if you don't mind, any aprox. value. 1. Royal West African Frontier Force (RWAFF) collar badge. Maker marked.

2. Victorian crown, Royal Artillery? I don't think it's a button but perhaps someone knows what it is? A sweetheart brooch?? Nice pin system on the back.

Is number two a converted button as some regiments in the artillery wore ball buttons whilst others wore them on mess dress I think, but certainly looks to have been converted as a sweetheart.

Looks very similar to this one: http://www.sellmymilitaria.com/site/...915&Itemid=477 which is O/R, G/M. The Labour Corps wore the "General Service" royal arms in brass, upon their formation, Jan 1917, - October 1918, when their new badge was approved.

I am with Graham. I associate badge 3 with the VTC and Labour Corps in
WW1. As far as I am aware the General List refers to officers only but happy to be corrected. I personally would value it at around £6. Mark

Mark: There is a marked difference in size between the two badges I pictured.
How is that explained? From what I can make of what you and Graham are saying, is the General List is officers only. And entirely in bronze. So basically, a General Service badge in bronze = General List officers, and brass = VTC/Labour Corps? What about prior to 1916? (VTC, Labour Corps?) I find very little information on this on the forum and web. Colin Colin
