VR pouch badge with rose, thistle and clover leaf
Hi all,
I have had this badge a while and thought it just a general issue QVC WM pouch badge from the screw posts with VR cypher but having a closer look I know the background is a nice woven pattern of I think the English rose, Scottish thistle and Irish clover leaf motifs. 45x35mm. Is is more than I think it is? Cheers Dean |

Dean,
I think we have discussed wreaths made up of roses, thistles and clover leaves in the past but in the context of buttons and I seem to recall that a lot of early Railway Company buttons incorporated that sort of mixed foliage wreath. Sorry I cannot be more helpful in respect of your badge. Peter

Many thanks Peter,
Food for thought in the mix: 'Quite a lot of London organisations have the thistle, rose and shamrock wreath. Examples are: - British Museum - Middlesex Rifle Volunteers, 11th and 20th - London & Birmingham Railway and Irish: - 124th Sligo Militia - Waterford & Limerick Railway' I had looked at some of the Irish militia and volunteer badges with clover leaf pattern wreaths in K&K, cheers Dean |

I'm pretty sure this is a pouch badge for the 46th Middlesex RV.

Haha, thanks Peter.
I believe lot 204 at Bosleys, 6/3/13 describes this badge but without any photo. It says the 46th (London & Westminster) RVC Victorian officer's pouch badge was a crowned union wreath with the VR cypher in the centre. I believe I saw the photo to identify it in another Bosleys catalogue but cannot tell you which one without digging through them all again. MJR. |
