On War Service 1915 two variations
 

Two variations of the same badge,the one on the left is the standard brass type marked: 'S' J R Gaunt & Son Ltd 26417

The one on the right caught my eye as it had a Gilt finish, although most of it has gone. The reverse is marked: 'P' D G Collins Newgate St London
Warranted Fire gilt 49888

The one on the right came with some Ceylon military badges, is the one on the right as common?

Does ant one know what the 'S' or 'P' denotes?

Thanks for looking.

I have a similar 'p' series Collins badge in my collection.

Hi Mike

What a 'Beauty' that one is. Many thanks for the link also. What a great Forum we have.

Regards

The 'beauty' was a recent eBay find , got it for £6.09 + postage ! :D

As a 'newbie' collector I have found the forum to be a great resource and the help/advice I've had from members is invaluable
