Random badge pics.
I've attached some pics of WW2 badges. No rhyme or reason, I just picked these 'cause they're glitzy

Incredible Selection
Incredible selection of officers' cap badges. Nice work Doug.
Question, fasteners? That Argyll Light Infantry officer's cap is a beautiful example of the pre-tank variety. And RARE. Awesome. |

Cmon Doug!, show us the rest of your officers collection. These are some rare pieces, How about that Argyll Light Infantry officers badge eh Bill A? I long ago satisfied myself with a correct OR,s issue.

Thanks, Bill. Reverse details:
Three Rivers Reg't - flat back, SCULLY marked, E-W screw posts, wired overlay. 83 Joliette - semi flat back, JR GAUNT, E-W lugs. Four piece construction, with the numerals wired through maroon velvet to a circular metal backer, which in turn is fastened to the badge body by small tabs. Overlay @ motto ribbon is rivitted. 2/10 Dragoons - flat back, SCULLY marked, four tang fasteners (or benders as our Brit cousins call them), rivitted ovelays. Argyll Light Infantry - flat back, SCULLY, four benders on this also. Carleton & York Reg't - flat back, SCULLY marked, E-W screw posts, wired overlay. |

Nice badges Doug! The detail and craftsmanship of officer's badges is certainly something that draws me to them. The price of some of them also keeps me away from some of them...

Dwayne,
Love that NNS Highlanders badge. I've only seen one other as mint. Here's a pic of the earlier pattern. |

I like that Carleton & York, You won't see that one often, I've only seen one on ebay since I started on ebay about 8-10 years ago. Maybe that's the one,I kept a picture of it anyway. Speaking of pictures I collect pictures (scans) of Canadian officers field service caps (also OR's)and get one now & then from my good friend Dr. Boulton. Ray

In view of the obvious interest in Canadian badges, I thought I would add a few pictures. The only one that might be rare is the Edmonton Fusiliers (?)

Hello Paul, thank you for the reply. I do not sell badges and, in any case, the Edmonton Fusiliers badge is part of a small collection of Irish and Canadian items that were given to me by an elderly Irish lady who had no children of her own and could not, in consequence, pass them on. She gave these heirlooms to me because she knew that I would not sell them.
