The badge in your photograph appears to be metal?

Hello Jerry,
Absolutely fantastic images, a fellow would really stand out wearing a badge like those, is that the end of a chain and fob on the sergeants breast pocket flap, just above the button? Regards Frank Last edited by Frank Kelley; 03-10-17 at 07:57 PM. |

Yes to the watch fob and also he has perhaps his SA pair of ribbons up.

Hello Jerry,
Looking at photographs on here and elsewhere, as well as examples of the actual badges themselves, I must assume that they were polished to quite a degree, by their recipients, they certainly are very attractive badges and must have got qualified Scouts noticed. Regards again, Frank |

Thanks for the pictures of the "S" in wreath badges, never seen them before.
I am interested only in trade and skill badges that were worn by Australian forces, which includes most if not all of the WW1 badges including the fleurdelis designs. I doubt if Australians ever wore the S pattern. |

In case it has not been said previously, the official gilding metal badges [all 4 designs] were issued with a black [sic] felt outlining backing ....... a badge with authentic lining would be a nice find.
Paying a lot of money for an unoffical worsted badge, however pretty and well-preserved, is not for me. I have several such [none as handsome], and they are in my "curios" category. |

Worsted Scout Badge
'Official' or not, here is a superb example of the worsted scout badge being worn by a QVR scout,:

How many collectors of Scout badges have their own Queen's Scout Badge?
I sweated blood to gain it, finally managed in 1954. I have the cloth and metal/ enamel versions safely framed. Just boasting. |

1954? If you'd got a wiggle on it could've been a King's Scout Badge.
