Silver Glider Pilot Regiment cap badge; not in K&K?
I would like to show a recent purchase, a Firmin made example of the 1950 pattern Glider Pilot Regiment cap badge in silver. K&K shows the silverplate badge (known as silver frost pattern), but this is unlike it and made from a different die.
Could it be a private purchase badge? |

These are my latest acquisitions - the 'silver frost' officer's version and other ranks cap badge, both maker marked by Firmin.
I am quite chuffed with these, as have had pairs of collar badges without matching cap badges; until now. I did see your badge on sale and was quite tempted to enter the bidding myself, but decided not to, given I had just acquired these and had an eye on the bank balance. Would be interesting to compare OR badge to yours. I will try to take better pics in daylight tomorrow. Last edited by DougSA; 20-07-23 at 09:55 PM. |

I would assume that all silver badges were private purchase. |
