A/A badges with metal sliders
 

Hi Guys,
I'm helping Chris (Hagwalther) on this latest Forum straw poll on anodised aluminium cap badges. What we would like to find out is how many Regiments had a/a badges manufactured unusually with metal sliders ie (brass or nickel) and the names of the manufacturers.
Once again only badges that you can touch or have access too.
I have put a several below to get the ball rolling.
Best Regards

Hi David,
Thanks for your list, but I think you may have misunderstood what we are looking for on this post. We are looking for a/a cap badges which have either brass or nickel sliders - fairly unusual on a staybrite cap badge.

A/A badges with metal sliders
 

ukbrits Here are a few:-
Royal engineers T&S (Turner & Simpson)
Royal Engineers slide marked JR GAUNT B'HAM and back of badge marked JR GAUNT LONDON
Royal Engineers NO maker mark but slider is fixed by a rivet.:)

Thanks Jerry,
My Royal Engineers is also marked J.R Gaunt London on the back of the badge & with Birmingham on the slider?
Think we have the Gaunt R.E badge covered now.
T&S badge sounds like a good find.
Many Thanks

Hi UKbrits, I don't think I misunderstood your posting, which only says A/A badges with metal sliders; it doesn't specify what type of metal they are made of, so as far as I'm concerned that's what I gave you. David

Yes,metal slider
Also another to add

Wilts Regt pre 1954 Grove MFG

Hi David,
No worries, I will amend my initial post shortly.
