Default Belfast Queens OTC badge

Hi all,

A impulsive purchase... usually I am not buying badges like this.

A Belfast Queens OTC badge with the slider, what's your opinion guys, is it an original one and from what period?

Yes it's original and that design as worn from 1908 until the 1960s.

Thanks Alan!

Also what about Campbell College OTC badge below, does this one looks good as well?

Yes that's a nice original badge. They both benefit from the Irish connection and I have seen dealers price the Campbell one at £60-80.

The Campbell OTC badge remained in use as a CCF badge post WW2 as this photo shows from the school website.

They did not have a CCF titled version to my knowledge.
