Hi Danny, The fire gilt badge matches mine exactly, purchased from Bosley's auction 24th oct 2007 item 32. description Irish Guards Sergeant's gilt cap star circa 1900-15 only. can't say anything on the other as never come across one before. regards John

Thanks John.

Two very nice items Danny.

The first one "Badge, Field & Forage Cap, Gilt, Sergeants and Band" Gilt SPN 5031 sealed 24/09/1901.

The second is the first pattern OSD star as described in DRs from 1904 and replaced by a smaller bronzed and then, more universally the S/G/E service cap star, by the start of The Great War.
