Hi all,

Just want to ask you if anyone could help me to find out from which period the two badges come from ? Thanks.

The title dates between 1908 and 1914-more likely to be closer to the earlier date. The Lewis gunner arm badge I would guess around the same period - the lack of wreath I believe signifies that the qualification badge for a Territorial Force member rather than a regular soldier

I'll have to check Langley and Edwards but I think the LG proficiency badge is post WW1-not 100% sure will look when I get home. It does not pre date WW1 because the Lewis Gun was not approved for service with the British Army until October 1915 and did not see service until early 1916.

regards

Mark

Thanks for the information. What would be the value of these two badges ?
