Indian / Eastern badges for ID please
Hi All
Can anybody ID these? I have been asked to try and sell a small collection of badges for the owner and these were amongst them. Some are obvious as to what they are but are they worth anything? I anybody wants better photos I can take individual ones. Some seem to be Indian silver as they leave a black mark on paper. The Cairo Civil Defence Force looks like it is missing a crown but is quite an interesting piece. Thanks in advance, cheers, Alex |

I see in the last picture:
5th Gorkha Rifles (Frontier Force), (post 1950) 63rd Palamcottah Light Infantry, (1903-1922) And upper right is a badge (not a "normal" cap) 1st Punjab Regiment, (1922-1956)

Any ideas on the fusilier badge with the '4' on the ball?

4th Bombay Grenadiers (from 1922)
I guess until 1945 when they were re-designated as The Indian Grenadiers. and the "4" was replaced by the horse.

Are you still trying to name the others? I will suggest some (altough some of the texts are quite difficult to read from them):
Second set, first row from left to right:
Second row

Thitd set (again, when not taken flat and with a quality that one can read the scrolls, it becomes difficult).
first row
second row
third row

Thanks Henk, great info. I will try to find time to photograph them individually with a ruler for sizes.
Cheers, Alex |

Henk, I’ve seen Gwalior Artillery collar badge with 7 flame grenade. (Nearly bought it but the guy wanted way way too much) the one shown here has 9 flame grenade, Did they have Engineers? Regards, D.J.

Dating some of these badges is difficult and sometimes requires an educated guess. For example, the 72nd Punjabis looks a bit newish for a pre 1922 badge.
Additionally, collectors always use a date frame of 1922-1947, but most British era badges and insignia in both the new Indian and Pakistani armies, were worn for years afterward with no change, sometimes well into the 1950s, when they were still part of the Commonwealth. CB
