Any thoughts on this please gents?

Thanks, Ivan

Rather nice, Ivan.

KK675?

Hi Ivan,

If this a looped KK675 (Need to confirm dimensions) it is my holy grail. I don't suppose that there is the slightest chance that you wish to part with it?

Am not really sure, the KK image is quite dark.

At its widest/longest points, the badge measures 50mm top to bottom and 30mm across.

Ivan,

Mine are approx. H50mm x W36mm.

Ivan,

If those measurements are accurate it may be KK674, a very rare badge.

Please see this thread:

Have just re measured the badge following Ry's advice and it measures:

50mm-top to bottom
36mm-across
25mm-length of tablet.

So perhaps a KK674 then?

That'll be a 675, I'd say .

Oh yes, a 675, of course (crikey am I learning fast)!

A nice badge Ivan. Well done mate .

Yes Ivan,

Thank you for posting it.

A lovely badge and I look forward to seeing the images of it once it is repaired.

Hello gents,

It was my intention to wait until this badge had been repaired before coming back to this thread.
However, those of you that remember the feeling of being a "Kid at Christmas" will appreciate that having actually received this badge after a very kind offer from Ivan I can't wait to show it off!

Many thanks Ivan and I do hope that you enjoy your new purchase as much as I have enjoyed acquiring this one.

The badge will be joining my other wounded soldiers in a visit to the Military master surgeon at Tamworth in order to receive the care and attention that I feel it is due and I hope to be able to show the images of it once it is again fit for duty.

Regards to all.

Ry

Ry I am glad to help.

I am a firm believer in this forum and the power it has to help fellow badge collectors and this is a prime example of how it could and should work i.e.

I asked for information about I badge I knew nothing about, people were kind enough to freely offer their advice and knowledge, I find out someone is interested in the badge, I pass the badge to 'the kid at Christmas'. And to boot, I get a badge I've been after thanks to Ry!

As far as I'm concerned, we all win so long live the forum.

regards, Ivan

Oh and doesn’t it look at home with the other KRRC badges!!!!!!!
