Please help with a few Collar Badges
Recently picked up a small collection of badges. Have posted a few here that I could not identify regiment and/or age, hoping for some help on identification & era, maybe rarity/value.
Thanks in advance. |

Collars
No 5 is RAMC Vols in all white metal, unless my eyes are playing me up- it has a small VOLS plaque on it.
No4 is one of the Staffs regiments, but offhand unsure which. Malcolm, didn't the Lincs Yeo wear the white metal version, and No3 is the Lancs? Stephen. |

Thanks for all the replies so far.
Yes, there is a "VOLs" on the badge. Would this be WWII era, or earlier? |

How early would this badge be? Note that there is an "8" at the bottom. What does that signify?

Is this badge WWII era, or earlier? Is this bi-metal, or just the way it is plated?

Incorrect design where the manufaturer mistook the description "plumes on the knot" litterally instead of over the knot. Rgds, Thomas. |
