Rank pips
This whole metal rank pip thing has always confused me. I am refering to the colours and not the number. Also the different sizes. Some are a little larger than the common ones, others are smaller.
Here is one I was tying to describe last evening while talking with a local collector.
These pips are sort of a white/silvery wash to them. They have the red centres, so I think they would be Infantry... but why the gilting?
