Anodized trade badges
When did anodised trade badges cease to be worn?

Where necessary the Household Cavalry and The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery still wear them.

Thanks
Apologies for the simple question but what form/s of dress are they worn on?, or were in the past.

Grumpy, unlike us there are a lot of collectors who class all badges worn on the sleeve as 'trade' badges, even if they are really skill, or appointment badges.

You misunderstand me: I accept "trade" as a portmanteau noun, but I wondered which ones ........ we don't see too many in wear these days, regardless of the order of dress.

I have not included anodised miniature badges worn with rank badges on leather wrist straps. Tim

I can't place a requirement for Light Infantry Pipe Majors badges and Piper's badges. Which unit / units would wear these please?

Can't see much take - up by the Household Cavalry, a little more by King's Troop. |

You would need to ask the authors in the MOD! But JSP768 has many mysteries often as a result of 'cut and paste' errors in a document that is not compiled by (or for) badge collectors or military historians! For example continuing references to the Light Infantry who disappeared into the Rifles in 2007. Tim

Ta, I was just wondering whether there were obscure units I'd never heard of keeping alive some traditions.

HAC Drummers
I think I remember a conversation around 1982ish about possibly changing our a/a No.2 Dress drums from brass to silver, nothing came of it. No.2 dress was the only order of dress we wore the A/A appointment badge, all other orders of dress used embroidered drums

Were the gold anodised drums etc not worn in short sleeve order?

Unfortunately any new dress regulations have been out of date before they have been published, and they seem to be constantly changing. Marc
