Default My new WW1 officers badge

Hi all
Here is a new badge for the collection.
A true WW1 officers cap badge. It has all the characteristics you would expect to see from a British made item.
Great quality, bronze with prongs, voided design and a recognized manufacturers mark from a company that produced officers badges.
As you can probably gather, I'm pretty happy.
Enjoy
BC

This pattern cap/collar badge is a distinctive type. I have seen them in black, brown oxy and gilt/ brass. No doubt they were WW1 officer private purchase.
There is a famous picture of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith wearing them in a famous WW1 picture. You might find the picture on Google if you look.
