New mbr advice please
 

G'day one and all, I am new to collecting British cap badges, I am an Aussie and have been slowly collecting Australian WW2 badges and bayonets for several years.

I have a question if someone could answer, in regards to WW1 British cap badges were they afixed by slider or pinned or was it a mixture.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers Phil

Hello Phil, welcome to the Forum. Your account is active and open for posts.
A quick answer to your question is that most First World War Brit badges had sliders, but some had lugs or pins.

Hello Phil, welcome to the forum, as Bill has said the vast majority of British other ranks (OR’s) cap badges had sliders/ shanks but still quite a few had loops fixed via a cotter pin, of course there were Officers badges in the main we’re fixed via blades in the Officers Service Dress cap

Thanks Bill A and GB64, your info has helped greatly, as a current serving WO2 I tend to go for OR relared items so now knowing that the majority of badges with sliders are OR badges this will help me greatly.

Cheers Phil.

Hi Phil

Welcome to the Forum, there's lots of Aussies on board not to mention a few Phils as well.
