It looks original to me, just like one I owned some years ago.

I don't like it Luc.
I love it! Nice original title, but that's a high price for that title. I believe one sold on the forum for half that not long ago. Paul

Officer's Hallmarked R.U.R. & Snco,s badges
Hi this came with a card saying the owner of this badge was at Pegasus Bridge, but was also dropped into Arnhem, have tried asking the Museum in Belfast for help getting Officer's involved at Pegasus Bridge, so I might try and compare against those Officer's at Arnhem, (R.U.R. would narrow it down), but no joy from them!
It could be he was at Pegasus Bridge, but Arnhem is a family mistaken memory, not knowing the facts but a story which has just grown in the telling? Could any of you shed some light on this as I don't know how to begin looking for this type of stuff? Many thanks Billy Last edited by billy; 12-02-21 at 06:52 PM.

We seem to have confusion here from the initial post as the “FIFTY-SECOND” title is Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry not RUR airborne?
Perhaps meant to be Rare airborne ........ Tim

If you want to let me have the details of the officer who the cap badge belonged to I will check and see if he was present at both D Day and Op Market Garden. Personally I doubt this . As far as I know the only men who served on both operations were members of the Glider Pilot Regiment. The main reason for this was that they were very quickly brought back from Normandy to the UK to continue training for future operations . Those in the Parachute and support battalions/ Regiments who were with the 6th Airborne tended to remain in the Normandy theatre of operations unless they returned to Britain for reasons such as being wounded until much later in the summer of 1944. No one can say that this is 100% accurate and I would be very interested to find anyone who served on both operations apart from members of the GPR. Cheers Arnhem
