Default Tiptaft RA

Just saw an RA cap badge with Tiptaft slider make £53 on Fleabay. Seems pricey to me?

Cool RA badge

I suppose if you collect Royal Artillery badges with named sliders and you have not got one with Tiptaft on it it's an OK price.

I paid £5.00 for a well over polished RAMC cap badge yesterday on a car boot sale, the slider was very loose but it had the name "Suttle.Cambridge" stamped on it and I collect RAMC badges and also Suttle named badges.

I collect RA cap badges and have a fine selection of Kings Crown Cap badges with name plates/named sliders.

I have never seen a Tiptaft stamped British RA Cap badge before - ever.

A rare badge.

Thanks gents I guess I’m not so aware of the Tiptaft rareness. I used to do CEF and RA and I had lots of Tiptaft CEF badges and I’m sure I had a non Canada and Canada Tiptaft RA badge.
