16th Queens Lancers Cap Badge

Evening,

I’m looking to pick up a WW2 16th/5th Lancers cap badge to complete a display.

Are any of these good WW2 period ?

Thank you for any help you can give.

Gareth

Thanks Andy.

I’m not sure on the first one either, it was very cheap so thought it was worth a go.

Picked up the single today … any chance that’s wartime ?

The matching pair on the white background I’m fairly certain are WW1. I’ve seen them on WW2 Battledress too. I can’t believe a set was...

Grenadier Guards Cloth Shoulder Title

Hope you’ve had a fantastic Christmas !

Does this have a chance of being WW2 period ?

Have another matched pair of WW1 GG titles somewhere too - I know those ones are definitely good.
