RAMC - Recent Finds
I thought I'd post these three RAMC badges which managed to find their way into my collection over the past couple of weeks.
Having never seen one close-up before, I found the integral strengtheners to the reverse of the pastic badge of interest: RAMC Plastic 009.jpgRAMC Plastic 010.jpgRAMC Plastic 007.jpgRAMC Plastic 008.jpg This Gaunt-marked, officers' badge was a nice, unexpected find: RAMC OSD Gaunt (3).jpgRAMC OSD Gaunt (1).jpgRAMC OSD Gaunt (2).jpg Would I be correct in thinking that the all-g/m example is pre-WW2, though not an 'economy' badge?: GM RAMC.jpgGM RAMC rev.jpg Regards, Peter. |

Peter I am pretty sure that RAMC badges post 1950 were bi metal with the motto 'IN ARDIUS FIDELIS' so your all GM badge would be pre 1950.
I think. Waiting to be shot down in flames Tony.

I've just had a look in Gaylor, which backs up what you're saying, in that post-WW2, the badge was issued with a w/m scroll bearing the words, 'In Arduis Fidelis'. We'd both better keep our heads low now . PJ |

Peter thanks for showing your badges, particularily the plastic one. The form of strengthening is new to me.
Attached my plastic RAMC badge, with a different form of strengthening. There is also a plastic badge with a smooth unstrengthened reverse. All three made by A.Stanley & Sons Walsall. Rgds, Thomas. |

Thanks for adding this variation to the thread - great to see it and another version to look out for. As I mentioned in my opening post; before acquiring my plastic RAMC, I was unaware of these strengtheners. Seeing your example makes me wonder if there could be other types as well. All fascinating stuff. Thanks again, Peter. |
