Looking forward to it Ron.

Hi Ron,
Wonderful to see these two and interesting that they are not exactly the same. Also nice to see an Anderson plate on the one. I'm assuming these badges are really quite rare, as you tend not to see too many about. Cheers, Roy.

Very nice badge Ron, possibly the 3rd are the rarest BW RV badges? I'm away from home so don't have my ref books, but is it only the 3rd that have that style of St.Andrew, and do 3rd badges only have that style of St.Andrew?

I have previously listed this badge as 3VBRH.
I now have a new attribution of 3rd (Militia) Bn Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) 1881-1908. Victorian officer's bonnet badge. A fine and rare die-struck silver example. Sphinx resting on a blank tablet. Two long silver loops to the reverse, the letter 'S' hand engraved behind the plinth. Ex Trevor Shaw. Ex Hugh King. Ex Bosleys (twice). Below is a photo of this badge in the T.D.Shaw collection taken in the 1980s at a Crown Imperial event in Sheffield. |

Great badge! Do you think it was done by the badge owner or for him by an "expert" rather than manufactured in that style? Makes you wonder what his superiors made of it! You also wonder what the original owners of these Victorian badges would makes of the prices that their badges make today.
Thanks for sharing another cracking badge Ron. Bryan |
