Hi

I thought that I would post the photograph of the badge being worn on this site as well as MCS. Also pointed out to me is the guy in the background Guards MGC, but being a navy collector I had not looked at the guys badge.

T he chap in the suit has a medal bar and possibly a lapel badge. It would be nice to know what medals he has.

Looks like could be WWI trio or pr. Photo taken possible 1919 still in the post war mine clearance period but the suit guy has been demobilized.

Hi team, wanted to ask if there was a thumbs up on this one before I decide to keep. Seems OK, very heavy with a nice bow to it. Crisp rear and with original issued backing plate also.

Simon.

My vote is on it being right. Looks good, no die faults, good age, backing plate etc all point that way.

Default CPO wearing Mine Clearance insignia

I was very fortunate at a Military show Sat last,

I am always on the lookout for any kind of photo/CDV of RN ratings wearing insignia &/or medals - spotted this one & obtained at a very good price................

two closeups of his Minesweeping insignia also.....

Bryan,

What a superb photo. Well done for acquiring that one, mate.

Extremely clear image of the cuff badge - thanks for posting it.

Peter.
