can anyone tell me the possible era for this pair of drummers patches. they are well made and very padded. Many thanks

Those are an exceptionally nice pair. No one seems to have much information on trade badges, materials and their periods of wear, but I am confident that these would be pre ww2. They are hand embroidered and have that gauze backing that is typically seen on earlier insignia.

I would agree very nice pair and the quality of the embroidery suggests early badges. Dating precisely is always tricky.
