Bullion Embroidered Officers Badges
 

Attached is my small collection of wire embroidered cap badges. Excluding the smaller Welsh piece in the top row which is likely a collar. Varying time periods and construction.

thanks

Nice, is top right a GG officers shoulder strap device.
Any positive identification of top left?

Hi Jack,

A really splendid group indeed. I have always loved bullion type badges be they headdress or formation etc, all are a fascinating area to study/collect too.

I only have a few example scattered around my collections but find I get a great deal of joy from them.

Well done..!

Cheerio,

Roy

A very nice collection.
Andy

Thanks fellas appreciate the kind words.

Leigh, I have never figured out with any certainty what the PWF badge was.

Jack

"Always" the case, I just wondered if the badge had any provenance to a specific unit so at least that example could be properly identified.
I have only a few officers bullion badges, probably 6 or 7 more still fitted to caps & berets (a fair few more if you count German WWII collar patches & shoulder straps).

This just about counts as an officers bullion badge?

Hi your group of bullion badges look really good

G'day Irish & Leigh

Irish that's a great collection thanks for sharing. I have a growing collection mostly Cav & Yeomanry.
and Leigh, that's an Inns of Court officers beret badge, there has been discussion on this one some where else on the forum, I think / hope. Its regarded as being hard to get but I do have one myself.

Hope that this helps

Regards

Phil.

There are 120+ officers' bullion embroidered badges in my album:

Comments and corrections welcome.

Thanks - it's pushing it a bit to call the badge "bullion" given that only the trident qualifies it as such.

interesting RTR officers beret badge (I'm after one of those badges), but as you've indicated is it an original for the astrakhan or a more recent production/

Tim,
Great looking group of badges. I have looked through your album a few times previous.

Jack

If you ever tire of the Staffordshire Yeomanry one, please do let me know!

A fine collection Jack.

I know some of the bullion badges can be hard to id.

Thank you Jerry
Jack
