TANK REGIMENT / LUGS
Hello Everyone.
This Tank Regiment cap badge has flat lugs, in white metal. Is this usual for a badge of this type which I assume is WW2 period? Any opinions welcome. Kind regards, Malcolm. |

Hi Malcolm,
It’s not usual to find these lugs but they are a good sign, date is notoriously tricky to pin down. I’ve got just one the same amongst badges to represent each WWII tank regiment but whether it is a wartime style or pre-war perhaps has elluded me. John |

Rightly or wrongly I thought that these flat lugs were a feature of some Canadian badges.
They have been mentioned before on the forum as being indicative of WWII manufacture on British badges. |

Typical WW2, very nice, you also encounter the RAC/AAC/Parachute Regt badges made like that on occasion.

Offhand I know that I have a Seaforth Highlanders badge (Pictou Highlanders?) and one or two others.

I have just received a Coldstream guards cap star with this type of " flat lugs " fitted.

G'day Malcolm.
I have one with small copper lugs and it has the rear pointing gun. Have a look and see it the gun points to your left (rear) or to your right (forward pointing). Regards Phil. |
