South African Constabulary, fretted badge
2 Attachment(s)
Hello,
Here are two badges, one solid, the other fretted. Note position of the lugs. Comments welcome on when, where, and who wore them, thanks. Cheers, John |
To add to my question,
Did officers and men wear specific badges, or were these badges worn by all? Thanks, John |
No idea but it's a nice badge. Is it silver?
Cheers, Alex |

Thanks, I suspect it is silver, going by the black tarnishing on back. Cheers, John |

There were definitely officially badges for Officers, Warrant Officers and other ranks. I have an article on these somewhere. I feel that the silvered badges were most likely officers, but don't remember them in the article. If I remember correctly gilt was for officers, bronze for WO's and white metal for other ranks.
