Victorian Rank Badges.

Very pleased with the attached. Guaranteed original. Straight out of a museum, as unwanted stock.

This is a COLDM GDS officers bullion badge in the correct colour beret. They were wearing brown long before the line infantry abandoned blue. Looks like the moths have mounted a successful attack.

Thank you. Now I see the flaws and have unearthed a reproduction in my own collection. Maybe it is best to remain in cheerful ignorance?
Now hunting for a proper one at a good price.

2nd Hampshire RV Badge with screw fitting

I am not about to buy this badge but would appreciate your opinions. This cast version has been floating around on a number of sites and I suspect a faker at large. Were any RV badges cast like this?...

Hampshire Slip On Titles

These were worn in 1974/5 when the Battalion was in Hong Kong; a different colour for each coy. White is HQ Coy.
