Hi Chris, what do you mean by colour change?
I have two versions, a void and a non void . Not sure of makers at the moment. |

Gaunt version on the left. You can see clearly the void area between the crown and the scroll at the bottom of the badge.

I've got 3 different versions. A Firmin marked version which is voided, a Firmin marked version which is unvoided and a Gaunt marked version that is unvoided. The 2 Firmin badges are the same pattern, just a difference in the voiding but the Gaunt badge is fatter at the base of the vertical part and it looks more tapered. Also, the Gaunt scrolls are seeded but the Firmin scrolls are not. Paddy |

Hi Guys,
The seeded badges are the earlier badges and were changed by request by the War Office. This request was made for all A/A badges and first proposed in 1958. Chris, see page 11. Regards Chris |

That gives the non seeded badge a maximum of an eleven year life span .

I said that the proposal to remove seeding was FIRST made in 1958. Going off and making statements like yours does nothing but bring confusion and error into the matter. Chris Last edited by hagwalther; 24-08-14 at 09:01 PM. |

Mind block error.
We all make errors you know,and make incorrect statements. K&K states that 11th Hussars was sealed in November 1964 so probably less that what I originally thought. |

The badge is in the CCN of 1963 so I would say it was sealed before Nov 1964. Regards Chris |

Bearing in mind that the 11th Hussars did not wear a badge in their berets there should not be too many of either the seeded or unseeded anondised badge around?
That said, even though the 11th amalgamated with the 10th Hussars in 1969, the "stores system" could have (over) ordered. Tim
