Hong Kong Police & Military insignia
 

Does anybody else out there collect HK insignia ?
Cheers
Del.

Del,
Yes, but not to the same extent that you do. You have some nice stuff.
About 80% of what I have is in one of my albums, I need to track down the rest and get some pictures done.
Why to the question?

I'm after 1930/1940s King's Crown HKP badges :)

My grandfather was in the HK Police and was interneed in HK during WW2.

HKP Insignia
 

Prior to WW2 the Senior Officers of the HKP wore a silver Royal Cypher as their cap badge,the Inspectorate and Rank and File (all races) wore a simple Kings Crown in white metal.With the post war re-organisation of the Force and the re-establishment of civilian rule, 1.5.1946, a new badge was adopted,this contained the well known harbour scene,surmounted by the King's Crown,all in white metal and later (1969) to be replaced by a chrome and blue enamel version bearing the Queen's Crown and the " Royal " element.
Genuine versions of the Post War (King's Crown ) appear occasionally in dealers' catalogues and fetch up the GBP100.00,BEWARE many HK made reproductions.
