Lost LRDG silver cap badge/sweetheart
1 Attachment(s)
Dear Members - rather tragically i have lost an LRDG silver cap badge in its Cairo jewellers box. I was attending the LRDG association lunch last Saturday in London and brought two up to show to interested parties. This is clearly a long shot and it could be anywhere between London and Brighton! Taxis, trains and other relevant places have been contacted to see if it has been handed in. You just never know..some kind soul might do that..or it may turn up on ebay or at a fair one day! Reward def offered if anyone spots it! I am including a picture of it just in case!

Heres hoping you find it wish you well!!!

Hi Monty Cassino,
Really sorry for you. You have to pay expensive price to get it.... You got it from a seller ? You were sure your badge was authentic ? William Darby Jewellery in Cairo took this name in 1950. Before it was Alfred Horatio Darby jewellery. This badge look really to the commemorative post war one... just one leg of the scorpion was broken.... Good Chance |
Just to confirm what I say

Darby...
Very interesting! Thanks for that....it has the service no of the relevant LRDG member on the back......which matches records....
|
Unfortunately, this is never a proof of authenticity but a way to get a badge for good ..
It's easy with the books on the LRDG to find a name and serial number. sorry for you |

I found a silver pin which had already shown me.
The same story. Strange is not it? Looks like counterfeiters have stocks to sell !! |
Where have you bought your badge Monte Cassino?
Member of the forum? |
The LRDG badges are not the same but abels are the same and it is the same handwriting ...
Serial numbers follow more It's really very strange Can you tell us more about the source of your badge? Have you bought expensive? |
I wanted to say:
"The LRDG badges are not the same but labels are the same" |
Probably because it is me!

Lost badge etc

Just to be clear - i bought two badges together as a pair. i have lost one of them. I have posted the loss in other places probably under different names etc as i have a tendency to do that! Both came from same collection and from a reputable dealer. Here they are together. Harrison and Denniff were mates.
|
Okay so you lost two times you money:D
|
Have you others nice items in your LRDG collection?
Is it possible to see photos? |
Both badges are fakes that have been "doing the rounds" for some time.

I am glad that you confirm the evidence :):)
|
That would certainly make actually loosing one somewhat less of a cross to bare.

Says who?
Says who by the way? Fraid i disagree. have shown to a number of veterans, family members, collectors and experts.
|
Who are your experts ??? :D:D:D
You deny the obvious. But after all it is your money. The main thing is that you are happy. The proof that this box jeweler in the 1950s is not enough? The purpose of this forum is to help you but of course you are the only master:confused::confused: |
Monty Cassino please read this earlier thread as it relates to one of your silver "LRDG" badges:

What I received in private message !!! no comment

Certainly not wishing to get embroiled in a topic i know little of, nor an area of collecting I have no experience of, and irrespective of the way this seems to be developing, I do want to comment that posting the contents of a private message on the forum I feel to be in poor taste. There are ways of saying things, and ways of doing things, and this is one that I do not personally agree with....
