Another unusual Chaplain badge.
Has anyone ever seen another one of these Australian Chaplain collar badges?
It would be nice to find another to make a pair, also a hat badge if it exists. It is not often that you find a badge that you haven't ever seen before. The maker's mark on the back is Taylor Perth and it came from the estate of an Australian Chaplain General. |

hi kingsley
very unusual as it has the body of a ww1 period badge with a qe2 crown. i wonder if it has not been put together at some stage? looks as if the crown may have been attached rather than it being all one piece? bc |

Hi kingsley and bc,
I would suspect that the badge has been modified in recent years. The metals do not match. Cheers, Tinto |

unusual chaplain badges
Hi Tinto and BC,
You are quite right, the collar badge is bi-metal, made up with a separate QC crown, perhaps ordered by the General himself. However, I haven't heard of the actual maker (Taylor Perth) before. Strange that he would put his name on a one-off. Here is another unidentified badge, not sure if it has anything to do with chaplains. White metal, only 21mm high. ?????? Any info would be appreciated. |

Hi kingsley,
I think this badge is a St John's Ambulance rank badge. Cheers, Tinto |

I'd suggest Taylor was the company/jeweller who converted it...
