Pembroke yeomanry OSD collar
 

Picked up a single osd collar for the Pembroke yeomanry, it is smaller than the example I already owned and has a flat back, compared to the other which is hollow. Also, the new one (N-S lugs) is of much better quality and has a different scroll, the old one (E-W lugs) is poorly cast with long scroll ends.

Any thoughts or comments on originality and dating would be appreciated.

Afternoon Jerry,
I have to say that I much prefer the example you have just picked up!
Regards Frank

Frank,

As do I.

Jerry.

What I know is the second collar (right hand one) was definitely worn in 1917-18.

I picked up a collar converted to a sweetheart today at the antique fair at the Nat Botanical gardens

all my Pembroke Yeomanry collar badges

I recently picked up a pair of Pembroke Yeomanry OSD collar badges with hollow backs to the feathers in mint condition. They look a different pattern with this type of casting to those shown in this thread, cheers Dean.

Both patterns were worn WW1 period, the longer scrolls being the earlier pattern.

Without being at home to check, but I think they are the same as those in the second picture next to the long scroll osd.

Thanks Jerry,

From the front they are but your short scroll ones appear completely flat backed to me and these are only partially so with indents beyond the feathers. Your longer scroll ones appear to have deep hollows. Not an
eureka moment but thought they might be of interest, cheers Dean

Dean, I was referring to the design rather than how they are made. They in that respect different and look very good.

Apologies Jerry yes absolutely the same design. First I have had in 40 years of collecting, cheers Dean
