Liverpool Irish officer badge from Molly
I missed this one (I would have paid double) - if anyone here bought that one from Molly - would they be kind enough to send me a decent photograph (front and back) - it will be would be acknowledged in a KLR badge book.
many thanks J Last edited by KLR; 01-12-21 at 08:21 AM. |

Thanks Alan G - I think you are referring to the 1939 Caubeen badge.
Thanks Peter - Yes, but it is a poor photograph I will try to tweak it. |

From Molly, it’s hardly likely to be genuine.

Agree. That does not have the quality I would expect of an officers badge.

Yes, of course the reverse should have been cast. It could have been a "Walking Out" which was either WM or plated WM. However, there is a photograph of an officer wearing a correct shape ?silver / plated silver on his khaki peaked cap. It could have been wearing a 5VB cap badge - I know one with a KC (cf my album OR 5VB versions) !?
Is there any comparison from the RIR badges ??? OK - there are two types of OSD badges (see my album). Would they wear an OSD badge only ??? Would they wear they a S&G or silver / plated badge on a dress cap / hat. What would other headgear would they wore ? The badge worn on the busby (from 1908-21) is very similar to the badge to the 1939 officer's caubeen badge (yes the HMS one - and other SP others). The photograph is noted 'Altcar Camp 1908) but not the month. Capt Earle and right a sergeant wearing a regimental badge (1896 Pattern).
