Belt buckle
Hi again,
Could some of you educate me and tell me more about the belt buckle below? Like I understand it was used by cadets or some school, is that correct? http://static2.nagi.ee/i/p/1014/78/25369697374b8b_l.jpg |
The badge shown in the centre of this very unusual clasp is that adopted for the infantry boys battalion after WW2 (with King’s crown) and then subsequently a range of Junior Infantry battalions (such as Oswestry and Shorncliffe to mention just two) from the 1960s to 1980s with Queen Elizabeth crown. Some infantry administrative divisions also had Junior Soldier (i.e. boys) companies based at their depots and the thistle decoration on the clasp ends suggests that this clasp might be for a junior soldier drum major (or similar) at the Scottish (infantry) Division Depot, Bridge of Don. However, I have never seen one like it before and rectangular belt plates are more usual.

I was thinking more of an "officer's lady" wearing it.
I have an idea that I've seen similar for sale on eBay but with a different units badge on it. I've spent some time searching eBay for the item I mentioned but with no result. |

I'm thinking of more recent fashion or toy, say 1970's onwards.

An "RRF" style anod. al. grenade with an apllied central device of I think it was POW's plumes within a wreath or similar sold on eBay a little while ago - a "Soldier, Soldier" item?
The "Ice Station Sonneti" RWF style badge is one of at least three badge designs used by the Sonneti clothing manufacturer (and currently being offered by the optimistically uninformed or dishonest for good money as "genuine"). https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...d.php?p=457633 http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ad.php?t=91198 |
