Default What is your most wanted Prison badge??

Maybe we can help each other out - I have most and many in my collection, but the one I have always been missing is the GV solid brass kings crown worn straight after the reign of Queen Victoria whilst all Warders still wore the last Shako. I have a few photos of it and have seen it in various museums and collections.

Hi Eddie,

Hi

Can I ask the size of the badge, as I have a solid kings crown badge (see attachment) but thought it was a collar badge.

Daryl,

That is a collar dog and it being solid is rare, but, sadly, not the one I am after

You need to do some more research as I reckon you might have a uniquie little item there. Many many thanks for trying to help though mate

It may even be Colonial, put it on the Canadian or Australian threads to see if they know anymore about it?

I’ve just discovered this thread: I don’t collect prison items per se, but have recently started to seriously look at insignia from the British Military Administrations in former Italian colonies in Africa and the Med. To that end top of my ‘wants’ would be Tripolitania Prisons (should such a beast exist - I recently acquired a Cyrenaica Prisons cap badge, so it is possible).




Those that do exist that I am looking for are the BMA Prisons and Eritrea Prison service, viz. these images posted elsewhere by another forum member.

All the best

Graham
