Army Trained Nurses Badge
 

Does anyone have one of these for sale?

I have a few Hen's teeth laying around......:D

Quite hard to find, it took me several years to acquire one and that was only this year.

I got £120 for the one I sold last year.

There's also these.

Have still got mine, qualified in 1963. Known in the Corps as the order of the Dustbin Lid. The Certificate that comes with it is AFC 344.

Did you get the enamelled badge as well the large silver one, where was it worn and on what.

Good heavens. I paid a fiver for one in about 1996...

Not sure which is the large silver one mine are gun metal in colour as are all my dental hygienists badges

The large army trained nurse seems to be either tarnished or blackend silver, the other 2 would seem to be like the badges my mother wore on her uniform and as she trained at West herts hospital she had one like this but better than this one shown, either in blue or green.

Still don’t think it is silver re your other badges have these also

Technically made from nickel silver with an oxidised finish. Chapter and verse here:

The badge is manufactured in nickel silver, oxidised finish, and the design consists of the Royal Crest superimposed on crossed swords in the centre, around which is inscribed ‘Army Trained Nurse’, followed by a Wreath of laurel round the edge of the badge.

The Army Dental Hygienist manufacture is described slightly differently:

Tim many thanks I don’t have the badges to hand at present but from memory they both look the same Even though made from different metals will post photos of both in a few days

David,
Slight tonal difference in this photograph from my collection but probably just lighting. I think they are the same and both do have the oxidised / gunmetal finish.
