Default Assorted badges (15th hussars, buffs, RGA, remounts)

Hello all,

New member. I have come across from the GWF.

I have a very small collection of cap badges as representative examples of regiments various uncles, great uncles and grandkids parents served with.

I am curious as to how many are genuine or reproduction.



The first 3 badges I got cheap at a car boot from the same person so if repro, that’s fine. The others from militaria fairs over the years.

1. Remounts. Not sure amount this one, it’s die cast, I think repro?

2. East Surrey regiment. Has had a crude solder repair to the slider - I think genuine badge, DIY repaired?

3. RGA revolving wheel type - slider is clipped short (possibly to repair the east Surrey above?). I think genuine?

4. RGA non-revolving wheel - I think genuine?

5. 15th Hussars - die cast, not sure. It is bimetal. I hope genuine!

6. Kings own. Die cast aswell, I think genuine?

7. Two types of ‘The Buffs’ both slightly different (ww1 or ww2??). Not sure, I hope genuine.

Thank you for your assistance. These are just a small display with my Tower of London poppy so rarity value etc is less important than representation of the regiments. I have paid much for any of them, I think the 15th hussars was most expensive at about £15

Thanks
Ed
