Apologies for the late reply. I think the background and lighting is making the colour pop a bit more but it does seem to have a gilt coating. It’s not as bright as some other badges I have, but I...

West India Regiment

Picked this up today on a whim. Has anyone ever seen an unvoided West India Regiment cap badge or did I make a (fortunately inexpensive) mistake?

9th Wellington East Coast Mounted Rifles

Picked this up today for my fledgling New Zealand collection. I believe it’s a wide banner version of the 9th Mounted Rifles cap badge but I’m quite thrown by the file marks on the slider. Anyone...

KC Jewish RAChD

Thoughts on this one? Gift from my in-laws, I’m not sold on it but it’s not my area of expertise. Happy either way, thought that counts and all.

19th Alberta Dragoons Gaunt Montreal

I picked up this 19th Alberta Dragoons badge today - I believe it’s CEF era but the online Booker reference I typically refer to doesn’t list any marked by Gaunt Montreal, just Gaunt London. Anyone...

Wild supposition here without any sources to back it up, but given that the old RIC wore the same badge as the RUC, is it possible the slidered badges date from the rapid expansion of the RIC during...

North Irish Horse

I picked this one up awhile back out of an unsorted bin at my local shop. Any thoughts on it? I seem to recall reading that lugged badges with unvoided strings were issued in WW2 but can’t seem to...

Thoughts on Strats badge

Hi all, I picked this Strats badge up from a dealer recently, I believe it’s a good CEF era badge but I’m not an expert on these and am looking for a second opinion.

Connaught Rangers

Any thoughts on this one? I like the voiding and the reinforcements but not the heavy edges on the back.

Happy birthday to me - 13th, 16th & Newfoundland Regiment

Just received these in the mail - I promised the girlfriend I’d invest the profits from selling our old house, but I had to get something for myself!

I’ve noticed the same with them - generally have more faith in their Canadian stuff but I’ve noticed a lot of suspect British badges.

Great info, thanks! Too bad about the holes in it then, but I really just bought the lot for a 5 CMR badge so this is a bonus!

Weird one

Got this in a lot today, anyone ever seen one like it? My first thought is a fantasy badge, but for what? I’m surprised it’s Scully marked.

Plated King’s Own Royal Regiment

Picked this up today for my WW2 RAC display. It was cheap enough that I’m happy with it just as a placeholder, but any change it’s real for 107 Regt RAC?

102nd CEF - cap or collar?

Picked this up today, can’t decide if it’s a big collar or small cap badge. Measures approximately 35 x 40mm. Thoughts?

Cast RMR?

Picked this up cheap from a fuzzy picture on eBay, front looks nice but the back looks cast. My first thought is usually fake but why bother fake this? Anyone seen one similar?
