Officers Service Dress Badges OSD
I have been sorting through my Devonshire Regiment Officers badges to make a new album but I have a couple of questions first.
These 3 badges have very similar fronts, in fact I would say they could be made in the same front die, but the backs are all different.
1. Which of the three are cast and which are pressed/struck?
2. Which of the three are OSD rather than full dress or another type of uniform?
3. The third one has the stumps/remains of bendable blades, so is it a cap badge or a collar badge?
4. The first two are marked J&CO for Jennens, would you also attribute the third one to Jennens or has someone else cast this badge from a Jennens example?
All thoughts welcome.
