Post Office Rifles - 'rare branding'
Reference to the badge below cropped up in this thread some time ago, over issues relating to 'rare brandings'.
PO Rifles C Reeves (2).jpgPO Rifles C Reeves (4).jpg Given my interest in the London Regiment, I thought it might be a useful badge to acquire for reference purposes, if nothing else. Three points, if I may:

Hi Peter, I have to agree with keith on this one that just from the front I'm not liking the "8th" on the top tablet. I can't comment on the makers mark as I'm not that conversant with them. I attached mine to show the clearer tablet font on mine.

Keith, Ry, Simon,
Thanks for your input, gentlemen. Always appreciated. Since Simon was kind enough to post a good badge for comparison, I thought the least I could do is to provide a good one of my own. The differences are clear! Reeves example on left: PO Rifles.jpg Regards, Peter |

Here's mine on the left, on loops. Next to my 7th London Collar badge.

Lol PJ,
I have shown it on here before mate. I would treat you to some new badge pics but it's all in limbo at the moment due to some of them needing repairs and my best camera being out of action Anyway, as for showboating, I heard that you were changing your name to "TEL" after landing yet another pre 1905 KRRC this week Ry |

I had an identical badge (without the named slider) with a solid crwon and it was an old repro imo.
