Sikhs Machine Gun Btn
hi all
been offered the following badges and just wondering what your thoughts are on them? ive searched the net and havent found any for sale. i did find Bosleys had a pair of bronze collars. so how rare are they? i also found this link to the Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection https://collection.nam.ac.uk/detail....3-10-20-37-187 and given i couldnt find any for sale, what are they worth? if i end up with them, these will be for sale. cheers BC |

They look fairly ok, but still not too good if you ask me...the edges on some of the initials etc a bit rough..And I know there are a couple of copies floating around..
I've seen them going from 50 to 150 gbp and more I think..Being Sikh badges they carry a premium, but I wouldn't pay more than 50-70 for each of these.. that's a personal thing...I like my badges in better condition than this..and I ideally pick up only silver or hallmarked silver..if in bronze or white metal I take only British made die-struck examples whereever possible... IN my opinion the second one is the best of the lot... |

I agree with Sunil in that I would prefer British made versions of these badges. These are cast and look a little too unfinished.

It may be me but they all seem to be identical badges just different fixtures and flashing, I don't know if that's a good sign or bad in this case but obviously made by the same person and same mould if originals are hard to come by.
