R A D C/A D C
 

Added some items in my album and gallery only a few new additions ,now difficult to find
A few items may be of interest - officers bullion badge you don't see many of these This was obtained from Mike Wood late 1970's Some older collectors may recognise the name
The H P is also a very scarce item Was offered this in the early 1980 by LT Coln
Wood when he was selling the epworth trust collection I heard on the grape vine that prof Charles Thomas had purchased it. I managed to obtain it when his collection was sold following his death a few years ago. I was told by a member of the museum staff about 40 years ago that 3 only were commissioned for the coronation of GR V Having seen pictures of this in use at earlier dates I don 't think this is correct
A few items on my wants list
Army Dental Corps full wording cloth title
Genuine arm of service stripe
R A F dental hygienist badge
Tri services hygienist badge
Hope badges may be of interest to some
Only 2 had dress shown as the Irish is unusual

Due to the help of one member now have arm of service stripe
Wanted green trade braid as worn on R sleeve tried the usual outlets The medical museum has R A M C braid for sale but not dental Any help/pointers would be appreciated

Posted a few updates Photo of head dress next to mess dress collars and beret badges ,2 shown on head dress appear to be mess dress
Also shown 3 para badges ,one which is down as PRI shop .but is infact from the museum of military medicine is a strange looking one
Finally added the small officers shoulder title as Westlake 399 ,one that I have been after for sometime ,but is the only one that I have seen Have any member one for measurement comparison

Added some new additions of shoulder titles in “new metal “ in gallery and album
May be of interest to Tim

David,
Thanks, am I correct in thinking that these ‘new metal’ RADC titles were/are worn with rank badges on epaulettes of the coloured jersey and not on Service Dress?

Tim

Tim only just acquired them ,uncertain as yet where they are worn .Once certain will let you know

Recent addition A D Corps embroidered not the official 1943 printed one ,but 'private 'purchase available for numerous outlets
Cloth not my strong point can somebody have a look for an opinion in gallery and my album
Not see these flooding the market so hopefully o.k
David

There are lots of mistakes in all the badge catalogues not just the rank one.

Added a couple of items to try dental services R N ,R A F , Think that I now have examples of all the R N trade badges and R A f -still looking for a R A F dental hygienist badge
David

Recent addition R A D C common badge but unusual construction not one piece or 2 piece pinned ,but the dragon is mounted but glued on Traces of the glue can be seen Anybody has a badge of this construction
In gallery and my dental album
Bess have you seen this before
David

Thats unusual David - not seen that before. I doubt it was manufactured that way, but I suppose you never know.

Potentially a repair by someone?
