World War 2 badges
Hello all,
Does anyone know if there's a definitive list of which regiments/corps/services had the so called economy badges made for them? A few years ago, someone on this board (I can't remember who) was kind enough to provide me with a pdf of an article that he'd co-authored detailing which badges had variants made for them during World War 1 and I was wondering if something similar exists for World War 2. Thanks in advance. Steve

Only variants that I am aware of for WW2 economy badges is the variations in the colour of the '' plastic ''
List as K.K +few other Monmouth and A D C comes to mind |

Plastic Economy badges WW2
Hi Gerard, I don't see the Royal Irish Fusiliers on that list,
they should be there! as they definitely have a 2x part plastic cap badge, which was sealed on 14th November 1943 K&K vol2. I'm not getting at you, I know you didn't formulate the list. best regards John |

If you look in my album you will see pictures of most of them and the missing ones are listed.

Not sure if you had Hertfordshire - again a likely trial pattern, wire fitting at back, not blades. I sold mine through Bosleys in March 2010, along with the rest of my WW2 economy collection. I also had, and include images of, others you note as missing from your album. I think APTC was lowest number issued and took a long time to find, also Buckinghamshire Battalion from memory was difficult and took a while. Alas I do not have an image of my Highland Regiment. It was the state of my Army Educational Corps badge that persuaded me to sell all the WW2 economy badges - cared for and kept well, but look at the state of it ...
