Queen Mary's Own Yeomanry? (Surrey Yeomanry).
But I don't know how it could be, of that manufacture. Too small for an arm badge? Last edited by leigh kitchen; 04-07-21 at 09:12 AM. |

It went for £35 - about right probably.

I was the under bidder!!!!
Andy P and myself have been chasing an example since 2010 (and neither of us won it today!) https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...rcian+yeomanry Tim

Queen's Own Mercian Yeomanry NCO arm badge.
The badge design was unpopular and withdrawn as it (vaguely) resembled the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) emblem. Hence pretty rare? Tim

A Google check showed it going for £4.99 from "British Military Badges" but out of stock.

They don't turn often, £30 odd about right. If you saw one for £4,.99 . . . grab it!

Queen's Own Mercian Yeomanry Sergeant's arm badge. I've got two, but not for sale. Never saw one in my time. The Squadron Sergeant Major of my QOMY Squadron when I joined, and who was in place right up to amalgamation over ten years after I left said he never saw it worn.

Fairly scarce arm badge - nice looking embellishment.

The blank slider badges are, to the best of our knowledge, made under licence for collectors after the MOD allowed firms to reproduce badges no longer in production. The issue badges were Gaunt and Firmin, the latter being the scarcer of the two.

Sounds about right, thank you.
