welsh guards osd cap
 

c.WWII period osd cap by Edward Smith, sadly quite badly mothed but still an uncommon cap to find in any condition

goes nicely with my other welsh guards officer caps

I always enjoy regiment/corps/regional collecting themes.

Great caps, thank you for sharing.
I've a small Welsh Guards collection, as a Cousin 3rd or something like that something or other removed, (must look it up sometime what the relationship is exactly), served in WW1, so always been interested.
Just a quick question if I may, hopefully not highjacking your thread!
I visited the WG museum at the Park Hall country side experience a number of years ago,in there, there was a bronze leak cap star on blades, the guy said it was for the OSD cap, I have never seen the cap with a bronze badge, always the wire one as depicted on your cap.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Now that is indeed a scarce find, very nice, I should not be remotely bothered about it's condition, a lovely thing.

Nice Jerry.

thanks Phil, I started out as a generalist collect it all, these days I mostly stick to welsh items, though I still buy other items that catch my eye...but mostly welsh

Jerry

thanks Chris. the only one on blades I have seen was for one of those collector editions and I seem to remember it had blades, you see them on ebay as officers badges, but they are silver in colour, I don't remember seeing a bronze/osd version

thanks Frank, certainly not something you see often in any condition so it had to be bought. It was a forum member who gave me the heads up on it, it was on a FB sales group.

thanks Andy

Here are my two Welsh Guards officer visor caps; a WWII service dress version, and a named post 1953 dress cap.

A very fine pair of WG caps

Thanks Jerry.

Not the best picture but you can see my Welsh Guards uniform at the right. I believe it is from the 1960's.
