Anodised badges with plain sliders - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Sonofacqms · #1 26-10-14, 05:03 PM

Having collected anodised badges fairly regularly in the 1960's I would welcome forum members thoughts on these badges with plain sliders. I will put the price paid for them alongside and to give an idea of the cost bearing in mind 20 cigarettes cost 5/- (25p in todays money).

1st Dragoon Guards 4/-
Leeds Rifles QC 3/-
Westmoreland & Cumberland Yeomanry 7/6
Warwickshire & Worcestershire Yeomanry 5/-
Surrey Yeomanry 5/-
Leicester & Derby Yeomanry 5/-
North Somerset Yeomanry 6/-

Would these badges have been scarce in the 1960's as most of the units were still active then and I paid a reasonable price or did I pay over the odds?

Thoughts appreciated

Could you put up some pics of the LDY.... don't think I have seen an unmarked badge?

Same goes for the WWY . Never seen a version that isnt on lugs.

Mike,

I think the WWY is on loops now you mention it. As for pics, chaps you will have to be patient, I have not visited my badges in a long while, when I do I will be armed with my camera.

Rob,

As and when you do get round armed with that camera would there be any chance please of a picture of the back of the Leeds Rifles with un-named slider?

Cheers,
Marcus

Chaps,

I will try to get some pics next time I visit the badges, I am making notes as to who wants what and will try to get pics of the aforementioned.

These badges as I have said were bought in the sixties and so far I have had no comment as to whether I was overcharged or not.
