I recently saw a Machine Gun Corps cap and collars in WM. KK state there were silver and silver plate but were they also made in WM?

Regards

I’ve never seen a Wm MGC badge I’d regard as genuine.

I do remember some elsewhere stating they were post war, but the pictures shown seemed to be from the considered fake die.
A mix of badges here, regular and small sizes in bronze and silver.

I have his larger OSD badge

BUT I have a small silver crossed - I thought it was a collar badge but it turned out that it was a 1919 pattern.

I have my badges somewhere........

Officers wore collar badge sized badges in silver with silver prongs on collars AND cap post-1919.

Be warned that someone has a load of small sized G&S marked badges in silver about 10 years or so ago.
Here my J&Co 1918 marked long lug small size cap badge.
