Borough of Newcastle under Lyme
A recent find Borough of Newcastle under Lyme Helmet Plate. although I am collector of Military badges I have been looking for one of these for some time
it came with a couple of N/B buttons one white metal the other chromed. it also appears to have been re crowned from Victorian to Kings which I am advised is common practice items in the group image came with it. thought I would share this image of an uncommon badge. Stephen Collecting to Stone Staffordshire and surrounding Towns and Villages. In particular the whereabouts of my Great Uncles medals 14 Star Trio 1st Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment to 9605 Pte H Taylor known to be serving with A Coy 1915 also his brother location of his British War and Victory to 12125 Pte W.J Taylor serving with 5th Batt R.F. 1915.

Hi Stephen
Nice badge, thank you for sharing it. A similar plate appears in “Badges of Office”: although the reverse is not visible the KC on that one, as yours, looks slightly too big (possibly due to the use of ‘stock’ replacement crowns originally destined for military badges?). The later chrome badge (Pl.30/B/2) was presumably manufactured in one piece and the KC looks slightly smaller and more in proportion with the rest of the badge. Regards Graham
