British Royal Artillery Cap Badge Makers Marks

[manchesters]

Hello,

I thought I would record the full size KINGS CROWN British RA cap badges that I own which have makers marks to the rear. This is for other ranks only and not Gilt or OSD officers badges. Nor does it include beret badges which as a general rule nearly always have a makers mark. Nor does it include Commonwealth Artillery which have a whole different series of makers.

I have found that maker marked full size RA cap badges are rare items and would be interested to find out what makers marks other members have in their collections, so please add them on below.

1. Hairpin slider - "GROVE MFG. B'HAM"

2. Slider - "FIRMIN LONDON"

3. Slider - "J. R. GAUNT LONDON"

4. Slider - "LAMBOURNE'S BIRMINGHAM"

5. 3 loops - Plaque with "J.R. GAUNT LONDON"

I am looking to see if anyone has Dowler, J&Co, Narborough, Buttons, Smith&Wright, Tiptaft or others. Do any of these exist???

regards
