Silvered Buffs Cap Badge
Any information welcome on this one please. Obviously it The Buffs (East Kent Regiment), and it’s a cap badge but…..
It appears to be plated )not marked with a P), on two lugs, nicely tarnished. Is it a Volunteer cap badge? 141 RAC cap badge (although if it was I would have expected it to be on a slider ?), an officers badge of some kind ? Or something else…. Will be offered for sale once positively identified Thanks in advance Paul |

Alas, I cannot offer any useful information Paul, but would certainly like register my interest in acquiring it once available if that’s not too cheeky!
Cheers……John |

Snap!
Not a genuine badge sadly. Likely one of badgeman’s early efforts before they were routinely stamped ‘silver’. |

Whilst I respect your opinion, what makes you say that it is fake? It’s a good quality badge with signs of wear , if it’s a fake it’s a bloody good fake…. Paul |

Yours is different to mine. Mine is die struck, yours looks more die cast … Paul |

Hi Chris,
Alas, the badge you have shown is the Birmingham Mint reproduction: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ictureid=31362 The lack of neck spines joining to the wings is the most obvious feature of those. Cheers……John |

Yes, it is the same beastie, though, I got it to keep this other one company!

Ah, apologies, yes all seen. I wonder then from looking again at Chris’ badge what size it is and is it a collar badge. But with that we digress from the point of the OP.
Cheers……John |

If it was Vols then it would be nickel with brass lugs. The bespoke 4th TF was BB rather than silver. The RAC were plated brass on sliders.
Thumbs down from me I am afraid. |
