RAMC - Recent Finds
9 Attachment(s)
I thought I'd post these three RAMC badges which managed to find their way into my collection over the past couple of weeks.
Having never seen one close-up before, I found the integral strengtheners to the reverse of the pastic badge of interest: Attachment 48122Attachment 48123Attachment 48124Attachment 48125 This Gaunt-marked, officers' badge was a nice, unexpected find: Attachment 48126Attachment 48127Attachment 48128 Would I be correct in thinking that the all-g/m example is pre-WW2, though not an 'economy' badge?: Attachment 48129Attachment 48130 Regards, Peter. |
Peter I am pretty sure that RAMC badges post 1950 were bi metal with the motto 'IN ARDIUS FIDELIS' so your all GM badge would be pre 1950.
I think. Waiting to be shot down in flames Tony. |

I've just had a look in Gaylor, which backs up what you're saying, in that post-WW2, the badge was issued with a w/m scroll bearing the words, 'In Arduis Fidelis'. We'd both better keep our heads low now :eek::D. PJ |
is that plastic with reinforcement another potential show and tell on the 11th?

Peter thanks for showing your badges, particularily the plastic one. The form of strengthening is new to me.
Attached my plastic RAMC badge, with a different form of strengthening. There is also a plastic badge with a smooth unstrengthened reverse. All three made by A.Stanley & Sons Walsall. Rgds, Thomas. |

Thanks for adding this variation to the thread - great to see it and another version to look out for. As I mentioned in my opening post; before acquiring my plastic RAMC, I was unaware of these strengtheners. Seeing your example makes me wonder if there could be other types as well. All fascinating stuff. Thanks again, Peter. |
