Default Rifle Brigade Silver badge

Hi all,

just wondering how common are these silver made Rifle brigade badges? I haven't came across with these before until now and after first glance didn't find anything online to compare.

What date is the 'Hall Mark' ? If wartime, there were probably quite a few, the manufacturers (who were they ?) will have wanted a reasonable return.

Hi
Nice badge, they do come along now and then but not that common( well not for me anyway )I’ve just brought a nice 1914 example from Jack (Irish) , hard to tell yours could be 1917 ?? Have to have better image of the hallmark, I’ve quite a few of these all Various dates.

I dont have any officers medals from the Rifle Brigade in my collection so this badge mist likely ends up for a sale.

I have to admit that I haven't heard of Edwards & Sons - but might it be F&S for Firmin & Sons ??

I would say F&s, Firmin & sons for sure, and still think hallmark for 1917, pm on its way as I’d be interested in the badge at the right price 😉

Of course Firmin and I blame predictive text .

Also looks like 1917 is the correct year.

Thanks all!
