Four more arty cloth badges
If anyone can help, I would like to know exactly when these four gun badges started and finished. Amazing how many variations there are.
I have another somewhere with white cotton stitching and will post it when it turns up. |

First 2 are first half of the 20th Century.
3rd one is Australian WW2 and after 4th one anytime from Victorian times to today. regards

The bullion on blue one has been worn since Victorian times as mentioned, but judging from the poor picture, the style and brightness of the embroidery would indicate a more modern example.

A few more examples, there are many maker's variations. Bronze finish is Australian.
