Liverpool Pals
I would like to ask Forum members opinion on this Liverpool Pals badge. I have looked at others on this site and am of the opinion that it ‘may’ be a 1915 pattern other ranks cap badge - but what do I know!
Any help or advice, greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Malcolm. |

The 1915 pattern was die stamped. You have a Gm example of the 1914 unofficial badge.

Hello Luke.
Thank you for the reply and interesting link. Am I to assume my badge was made in 1914 by Elkingtons. Was its purchased for use as a cap badge? Kind regards, Malcolm. |

Elkingtons were a jewellers who made the silver ones not the brass ones. The die cast was the first cap badge.

Hello Alan.
Many thanks for this. I read through the link and to be honest I was confused. So would I be correct in think now that my badge was made in 1914 as the first type in GM to be worn by other ranks. To be honest, I think I need it spelling out to me in big! Ki d regards, Malcolm. |

Yes. The followed by a die struck one on lugs and then finally by an officially issued die struck on a slider.

Not intending to be pedantic but for accuracy’s sake, the 1915 pattern was officially authorised and issued, SP 8520/15.
