I think the lugged badge is silver-plate & gilt as per officer standard. I think the slidered badge is a PRI one.

Ya, the lack of vent hole in the E Lancs is a bad sign, don't have a Marsh catalogue but that seems to seal it anyway. The E Yorks looks fine to me with a nice vent hole behind the rose.

The lurex started coming into use around 1982 when the first cap badges came out in lurex. After that more badges and insignia progressively started coming out in lurex but I don't know exact dates....

It looks like it may have been coated with a poor quality varnish or lacquer which has blackened over time, that would explain the cracking and flaking.

It looks like the Gaunt badge has the dreaded fullstop between Gaunt & London. Is it the genuine 11mm mark or the (considered) fake 15mm mark?

One of the things that gets me is that you assume these people wouldn't dream of going down to the corner shop and robbing it, but are quite happy to con people this way. Hypocrites.

Hi Neil
What I find odd is that they were made by Carringtons, which means they must have been a special order, so it seems strange that there is no record. I'm sure somewhere in a dusty folder...

Hi Guys
Since this was posted a few years ago, a collector friend of mine in Cape Town SA was given one as well, so very likely that they were WREN / SWAN badges.
