Noswydd dda Bantam,
What I was talking about was the one piece standard pattern OSD and whether this was worn by either the militia or volunteers as a day to day badge.
Any ideas?
Cofion gorau,
Kevin

Thanks Kevin, I did wonder as I knew the rough, sand casting method often produced a poor badge. Toby

I'm saddened but not surprised Bantam, I have found the current Principal Curator extremely unhelpful when researching badges. He has several times promised something "when he gets the time" and, to date, has never delivered. Toby

Hi Toby,
Good to hear from you for so long.
I am sure we appreciate that we are lucky to still have military museums to visits in these austere times it would be nice if some curators would remember without us they wouldn't be there.
Whilst at Caernafon I did not get the opportunity to meet the principal curator I did however speak to the shop assistant there who turned out to be one of their researchers filling in while the archives are being moved to Wrexham who was very friendly.
I also visited another military museum in The Principality last month and found the curator very pompous.I shall not say which one.
Hwyl
Bantam
