Hi

Can I ask the size of the badge, as I have a solid kings crown badge (see attachment) but thought it was a collar badge.

Daryl,

That is a collar dog and it being solid is rare, but, sadly, not the one I am after

You need to do some more research as I reckon you might have a uniquie little item there. Many many thanks for trying to help though mate

It may even be Colonial, put it on the Canadian or Australian threads to see if they know anymore about it?

I’ve just discovered this thread: I don’t collect prison items per se, but have recently started to seriously look at insignia from the British Military Administrations in former Italian colonies in Africa and the Med. To that end top of my ‘wants’ would be Tripolitania Prisons (should such a beast exist - I recently acquired a Cyrenaica Prisons cap badge, so it is possible).




Those that do exist that I am looking for are the BMA Prisons and Eritrea Prison service, viz. these images posted elsewhere by another forum member.

All the best

I am also seeking pre 52 Patten Principal Officers bullion badge and bullion Chief Officers badge.

The wonderful moustached Principal Officer medical section was photographed at HMP Stafford 1912.

Default Eritrean Prison Service cap badge

Just updating with an Eritrean Prison Service cap badge that dropped through the letterbox a short time ago, in brass on a deep red backing with contemporary stitching presumably compensating for the loss of the upper lug.

Still looking for a B.M.A. Prisons Service cap badge to go with this and the Cyrenaica Prisons.

All the best

Graham

Default Another of the Wanted List: WM Eritrea Prison Service cap badge

Good afternoon

Another one off my Wanted List that arrived today: WM cap badge and shoulder badges used by the Eritrea Prison Service. Very pleased to add them to the brass cap badge and 'beer-can' shoulder badge I got some months ago.

Still looking for a B.M.A. Prisons Service to complete the 'set'.

All the best

Graham
