I'm assuming this British Parachute Regiment beret badge was made by the same company.

Hi Tonomachi,

Rare LB&B mark also found on some modern Liverpool Scottish badges. This mark may be found externally stamped to the badge and also as part of the reverse die.

Regards,

Chris

Here's one with a slider not sure of date but may be of some help.
Good Luck

Many thanks for this information.

I have the Lpl Scots NM badges almost all marked by LB&B - with guidance from Chris!


I will probably move these on after they have been properly photographed.

If anyone has the 1992 officer's badge - I would very much like to have detailed photographs (I don't need to 'own' one)

PS the red brackets are the dies of the 1908 Pattern (except the last two) - I wonder where they got the dies from!

Does anyone know the approximate years these were made?

1990s-2000s.

The badge was a sealed pattern for wear by the TA SAS but has been widely made for the collectors market.
