CSARV

[rmarsden]

Just picked this very well made badge. I know what it is could someone suggest an approximate value?

[rmarsden]

Two different patterns of collar badges, when did they change from WM?

[Traist]

Hi, as far as I know, the brass collar was a restrike, not original. Regards Andrew

[Milmed]

I can concur with Andrew. Brass was a restrike

[rmarsden]

Thanks guys, not a restrike as they are two different dies so a forgery?

In my book a restrike or a forgery are both fakes. Have a great weekend.

Thanks all looking to obtain a matching wm collar.
Ron.

[rmarsden]

Found a wm title, now looking for a match.

Added a few pieces to this card.
Can someone tell me what other badges were worn by the CSARC?

[Milmed]

They continued to wear the CSARV hat and collars. Only the shoulder title changed.

There are also CSARV / CSARC officers badges in hallmarked silver. Only ever seen one set though. Collars were same as white metal ones but cap badge was different.

[rmarsden]

Thanks Milmed, do you know what buttons they wore?
Ron.

[Milmed]

Hi Ron,
Buttons were white metal with crowned winged wheel. No title or scroll.

Thanks Steven will be on the lookout for one of those.
