Many thanks for the interesting info guys,
Here in the first pic are 4 different types of RSA Badges I have, associated with WW1
The one on the top left is a Auckland RSA badge by C.M. Pace (though it could be Page).
Top Right has no maker mark, but has 9 over 390 so maybe Trooper John William Reed. I understand that the ANZAC Club was based in Dunedin?
Bottom Left has RGD 861 to front and a safety loop to top back
Bottom right has a partly obliterated D 861 to back, and no safety loop.
Last photo shows the sample pool I managed to dig up... and show some with safety chains and also Yearly Subs plaques attached. The bottom two small versions are to WW1 chaps, 23/1590 and with the 1957 year plaque, 2/2297.
I haven't found any evidence of the RD 1101 or 1011 on the early ones Dumdum, but if you let me know where I might find it I'll get the magnifying glass out and have a better look...:-)
All the best
James
