Default REPRO

David
I am sorry to say that I think that the badge and the one Gar shows on the left are repros (both long noses and fused legs) and the one Gar shows on the right is good, similar to KK1495, Wilkinson (p.51) and Gaylor Plate 31.

Unfortunately there is an identical badge for sale on ebay now, described honestly as new, for £7.99. The seller has another 8 in stock.

I was looking for 9 months on-line and at fairs (dealers hadn't seen one for months to years) and the badge is very rare. There was one for sale on a coin website recently which I underbid; I contacted the seller who told me it was dug up by a metal-detectorist south of Cambridge.

I found one two weeks ago in amongst jewellry - and I think this was the fate of many of them being converted to tie pins and brooches.

I hope this helps.

Bill

If it is of any help, here are some images of an outright fake. I bought it as such a while back to "fill a gap".

hope it helps,

Andy

Bill is right, the fox with the angular nose and fused legs is a copy, Unfortunatly some unscupulous dealers fret out the fused legs. There is more than one striking of the original (like Rockapes second badge) which have a smaller more rounded nose , they are fairly fine and sometimes a bit of a copper shade, job to find especialy with slider.

I had thought examples with D lugs were in fact collar badges?

General construction- sweat holes and lugs, look fine. Regards, Paul.

Nice example.

The caps & collars are the same size, so it could be either.

FYI, it's the East Riding of Yorkshire Yeomanry badge.

Cheers,

Andy C

Default ERY running fox first pattern badge

My latest find. Rather weathered but good slider and voided legs.

Very nice Alan, although am surprised to see that variant on a slider.

Cheers,

Andy C

For some reasons the Imperial yeomanry and some of the TF were wearing sliders on some badges well before 1903. There are no hard and fast rules on it. There are pictures of this badge still in use in WW1 so I was not too worried about the slider. At least I know it's not a collar!

Default Early Right Facing Collar

Hi folks,

Resurrecting this thread to show a right facing collar or armbadge (read on). This badge is is die cast gilt and is a good example of an early collar badge. I'm still looking for his mate though

The attached postcard ( I gained recently) is of interest as it shows the scrolled badge in use in 1911 and an earlier photo in this thread shows 1910. What is even more interesting is the right facing scroll-less badge was worn at this time on the arm. Although many left-facing badges have been touted as the correct arm badge, this photo shows that it was not always the case.

A book titled "One Hundred Lives - The East Riding Yeomanry in the Great War" by Dr. David Marchant, to accompany the excellent exhibition in the Treasure House in Beverley (which I think finishes this month), is £5 very well spent. The men served in Egypt/Palestine with the 1/1st ERY and subsequently with the MGC on the western front. Photographs accompany the brief biographies of each of these men and answer most questions concerning dress between 1910 through to 1920. Bill

I like that postcard, a super image, the lancer's uniform always looks good notwithstanding the regiment concerned.
