Ebay Gem No1 - Guards Trained Soldier Arm Badge
I know many members are not fond of Ebay and regard the badges sold on it as trash.. I am far from that opinion and here a few Gems picked up in just the past few days.....
The first is a Guards Trained Soldiers arm badge, worn by Guardsman/Privates serving as permanent staff at the Guards Depot. Tria Juncta in Uno would suggest pre 1900, when the Irish Guards became the Fourth Regiment of Foot Guards, although I suspect this badge was worn long afterwards. I have only seen cloth "Quinque" badges. It's value £100-150, obtained for just over £2.

Hi folks,
I received these from ebay yesterday, a little more than £2.00p but in my opinion, well worth the sum I paid and because I like bright and shiny........I think it's a nice little set ?? Perhaps not the historical or financial value as Andy's badge but just as rewarding me thinks ! Dave.

You spend ages waiting for a bus and then a number all come at once.
