I can't believe the price that this has just sold for
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-...383.l44720.c10 Taken from the same die as the two badges in this thread, but £36? Really? |

a, It is not issued from ordnance b, Evidence would suggest that badges were often locally sourced c, The Machine Gun Corps served in theatres that these cast badges come from All down to personal choice, but £36? You can get an issue one for between £10 an £20! |

I think you would be very fortunate to buy an original MGC cap badge for a mere £10 these days.

Just a little plug for you MGC collectors.
I gave up collecting the badges (most went to Andy) but I've been trying to write a history of 123 Coy for some time. I'd be grateful if anyone comes across any information with badges or medals such as letters, photographs etc let alone an identified name (I have about 180 names so far). thanks thanks J |

Don't get pulled in by the overpriced badges that you see being offered online. Prices are being pushed up somewhat by certain dealers IMO. My last MMG cap badge badge cost me £9.99 plus postage. My last MGC cos £9 plus postage, both genuine. I know I got very lucky with the MMG, but I wouldn't pay more than £20 for a standard MGC badge as they are really rather common and will often be found for less. It is just a case of knowing your subject, being patient and not buying the first badge you see.
