Long Sliders Thread
Not sure what kind of interest members might have in the following, but thought I'd post a few badges which bear the long slider. The general ball park figure seems to be around the 45mm mark, but I would be interested in seeing all/any other examples.
Members KLR, and Ticker Riley, (among others) have submitted a number of very interesting posts on the subject, so I thought it might be an idea perhaps to organise a thread which could potentially encompass the subject in one place, rather than have a number of separate and ongoing threads with no clear connection. Just an idea. This first example is a little curious - not quite sure what to make of it. A Royal Army Service Corps badge, with a 48mm slider, and which looks to be a die cast OSD... perhaps someone can correct or confirm that. Regards, JT |

This next badge has been discussed previously - a lovely Leicestershire Regiment example (45mm slider):

An interesting RASC badge as it is clearly not 1903-06 or a Brodrick badge but could be bespoke for something else. A FSH (Pagri) remains a likely contender.

I have these two KLR badges with long sliders.
The 8th Lpool Irish is WW2 period at 45mm longer and thinner than what you usually come across but I think more suitable for the Caubeen. The other is the unofficial Indian Service badge which is mm'd Gaunt and is 47mm Paul |

I think it may be as early as 1898ish through up until probably 1920, the KLR seemed to rotate the 2 Regular Bn's with India Service.

A slight tangent... Rob raised an interesting thread here on slidered officers' badges. Last edited by Jelly Terror; 06-04-16 at 07:45 PM. |

Long slidered badges
Not my field, I've shown this before, as far as the paint job goes? I've no idea. Slider is 50mm long. Regards, David J.

Nice one David. Is it a regular RASC badge in all other respects barring the paintwork and slider... not theatre-made?
