Cap badge

Ceylon Arty

Thanking you for the replies. One day I'll upgrade my camera to photograph my 360 variants of the artillery badge. And there are more, I just can't afford them all. eg P.E.I. Canadian.

I too had this bookmarked to make a bid on and I just forgot. I have one like Simon's in WM with loops and a small Gaunt tab on the rear behind the ON. As I'm now retired and on my army pension I...

How many variants?

When one looks to see how many variants of the post 1902 Artillery badge I have 345 variants from 22 Commonwealth countries and colonies. Each one is different in some small way. The British and the...

Hello Simon. A great picture of the variants. Have you got an "AMOR" maker's copy of the Australian Arty badge? They pop up every now and then.

NO. The report was from the CP of "Shot, over" when the guns had fired and the readback from the FO party signaller (which used to be me) was "Shot, out". Then I'd count down from the Time of Flight...

My 2 cents worth

I'm going to say it's a Canadian badge. The limbers are very straight as are some other Canadian badges I have. Also if it was made by Arendsen then you would see the maker's name inside the top half...

repro or real?

I know, I know, I know there are lots of reproductions out there and I have been caught too often. Usually the point of contention is the mounting system. East/west, up/down, slider etc. Any comments...

I was the one that bought this badge. I have been after one for about 5 years. I missed one a few years ago and know a collector who has one but didn't want to sell as they are not too common. Please...

Just as I thought. I wrote to him last time and asked him to qualify his claim and he went on about it having belonged to an elderly Jewish man who blah blah blah. You get my drift?
