Long Sliders Thread
Not sure what kind of interest members might have in the following, but thought I'd post a few badges which bear the long slider. The general ball park figure seems to be around the 45mm mark, but I would be interested in seeing all/any other examples.
Members KLR, and Ticker Riley, (among others) have submitted a number of very interesting posts on the subject, so I thought it might be an idea perhaps to organise a thread which could potentially encompass the subject in one place, rather than have a number of separate and ongoing threads with no clear connection. Just an idea. This first example is a little curious - not quite sure what to make of it. A Royal Army Service Corps badge, with a 48mm slider, and which looks to be a die cast OSD... perhaps someone can correct or confirm that.

Leicestershire
This next badge has been discussed previously - a lovely Leicestershire Regiment example (45mm slider):

An interesting RASC badge as it is clearly not 1903-06 or a Brodrick badge but could be bespoke for something else. A FSH (Pagri) remains a likely contender.

I have these two KLR badges with long sliders.
The 8th Lpool Irish is WW2 period at 45mm longer and thinner than what you usually come across but I think more suitable for the Caubeen. The other is the unofficial Indian Service badge which is mm'd Gaunt and is 47mm Paul |

A slight tangent... Rob raised an interesting thread here on slidered officers' badges. |

I think it may be as early as 1898ish through up until probably 1920, the KLR seemed to rotate the 2 Regular Bn's with India Service.

Not my field, I've shown this before, as far as the paint job goes? I've no idea. Slider is 50mm long. Regards, David J.

KRRC
This KRRC (KK2011) has the 11mm, 'J R Gaunt London' mark (no full stop). Non-voided crown and centre, with a 46mm slider:

long Sliders
Hello Je Te, My RASC long slidered badge is definitely die struck so I believe it to be "proper". I always thought that "Theatre Made" were all cast. Looking at it again, I'm wondering why as a non voided example they bothered to void the crown arches? Thank you for your interest, David J.

Great stuff, chaps. :) |
Now I'm worried! What do I really have? Hoot says that my long slidered badge should be slightly larger? Well mine isn't! Tip of crown orb to tip of lower star = 42mm. Same as my ASC, GvR RASC and two types of V1 (VI between upper parts of G & R and the other has the VI between the centres of the G & R) RASC. Excepting the lugged ASC Sliders on these are all 38mm. Regards, David J.
