The Clifton cadet is clearly wearing the QRL badge - no red backing though.

I suspect that no Direct Entry QRL officer has ever come from the Midlands!

How bizzare but clearly Mike was correct - whatever next Brighton College CCF could rebadge to the Yorkshire Regiment and how about Nottingham High School rebadging to the Royal Regiment of Scotland !

I can only assume that a current or recent contingent commander served with QRL at some time ??

It's nothingt o do with Geography but all to do with where the Regt draws its Officers from. How many Welsh Officers have you met in the QDG?

The Cori Tap is about 100m from my house. It's a very dangerous place (for those who don't know, it is a famous cider pub in Clifton).

From what the OC said, they at some point in the recent past had a QRL attachment who sorted it for them.

Why not?

Their regimental museum is at Belvoir Castle, in Leicestershire. There are rather a lot of aristocratic families in the area, including the Duke of Rutland who, as far as I know, still lives at Belvoir.

Or am I missing the point?

Cheers

William

The museum has recently moved to Thoresby not far from Worksop/Ollerton in Nottinghamshire (and a very good museum it is too).

Should take OC14 about 10 minutes to walk there from his house!

3. A genuine HLI Tudor (there are no genuine QC although I do have an unfinished prototype item) - two only.

4. Clifton College CCF, Bristol - one only.

5. Malay Regiment - two only.

6. 302nd (Pembroke Yeomanry) Field Regiment, RA (TA) [Large]

7. Royal Pioneer Corps [Tudor]

8. 286th (Hertfordshire Yeomanry) Medium Regiment, RA (TA)

9. 299th (Berkshire Yeomanry) Field Regiment, RA (TA) - the cap badge in gold not the silver arm badge.

10. ‘Q’ (Queen’s Own Oxfordshire Hussars) Battery, 299th Field Regiment, RA (TA)

11. Boys Company, Brigade of Gurkhas

12. The Queen’s Own Gurkha Transport Regiment - 'Queen's Own' scroll

13. Intelligence Corps [Tudor]

14. St. Benedict’s School, Ealing CCF - Recently discovered - one only.

15. ‘P’ (Buckinghamshire Hussars Yeomanry) Battery, 299th (Royal Buckinghamshire Yeomanry) Field Regiment, RA (TA)

Many of those listed above are only counted in terms of individual or pairs of badges.

Edinburgh University Training Corps (TA) not yet found in doco and CCF badges are always a problem to 100% know what they are about. Rest are recorded in official doco.


Regards

Chris

what sort of money do these go for? 50's£ to £hundreds?

12 is a hybrid,the metal QOGTR has been added to a GTR star.
8,9,11 and 15 appear for sale regularly- £100 ish
7 and 13 are about ,the I corps more so. The RPC is weak in the crown area.

The rest well pick a price.

Default AA - The Rarities

An illustrated table of the AA Rarities, using information and images gleaned from this thread and one or two other pages on the Brit & Commonwealth badges website.

Hopefully all images are correctly attributed; many apologies if this is not the case, the credits will of course be altered as required if they are not correct.

No claims are made about the authenticity or origin of any of these badges.

Prices shown are from research, they do not reflect the price anyone may have paid at any other time or place.

Best regards to all.

William

There is one that should be on there. The 10th Gurkha Rifles hat badge,it's in the Haggy book I believe. Non void across the Bell and 2 long lugs at the rear. There is a sealed pattern in the IWM collection. A rare badge that you don't see often if at all .
