Hi all.
I'm a real novice at this game but I've been left what seems to me a large collection of badges by my late father in law. Trying to catalogue them all but not sure if I'm getting it right. Will be looking to sell at some point so any advice from anyone out there would be really appreciated. |

Tony
welcome to the forum. Post some pictures of the fronts and backs and I would be happy to help. However be prepared for some to be copies before you get your hopes up! Alan |

Sizeable collection
Will post some photos over the next week or so.
Already had a disappointment with LRDG but may have a genuine 51/52 commandos. Just got through Cavalry, on to guards and then all the rest. Is there a reference book you'd recommend? |

I think Kipling and King may be a little advanced for what you want and you would most likely have to purchase volume 1 and 2 I would just look at the numerous. albums on here and any you can't find just ask as many members do
A cheaper basic ref book for identification would be John Gaylor Military badge collecting -but like most older ref books contains some errors David |

The problem with the books is that the photos are not great. If you look at the albums on the Forum then you can generally find an example of most cap badges.

Can you identify these 2 for me?
Attached pictures of badges I'm struggling to identify. Cant work out the cypher on the grenade. Think the other may be Household Cavalry or a Guards regiment.
Thanks very much in advance if you can help. Tony |

Grenade is Honourable Artillery Company HAC.
Not sure on other badge. Tony.

As said, genuine HAC Infantry and the other is a fake/fantasy badge that is seen a lot.
