Hi Richard
May I join the discussions on this one. I have a number of 21st Lancers collar badges, both QVC and GVR.
There are 3 different types of QVC collar badges, the first has lances crossed at about 45 degrees and is quite large.
Type 2 has upright lances.
Type 3 has lances that are crossed but are quite narrow like the subsequent GVR issue.
Type 1 has 2 lugs E -W with the lugs on the back of the pennons.
Type 2 has 4 lugs with the lugs at the top and bottom of the 2 lances.
Type 3 has 4 lugs, 2 at the back of the pennons and 2 at the base of the lances level with the XX1.
The GVR issues that I have are in brass, officers gilt and officers OSD Bronze, all have just 2 lugs but quite close together N - S and they vary from 13.5 to 19mm apart measured on the out side of the lugs.
Maybe the best person to ask is Mac McConnell. Mac do you want to join the discussion. Thanks mate.
'Regards
Phil.
PS, so why would a man commissioned in 1908 have either QVC buttons or collar badges ? That just don't follow ! Can you please post a close up of a button ?
