Colin,
I have the two you mention and I have always viewed the blank slidered example with suspicion. The marked Gaunt example I have, has clear signs of wear. As also discussed above the generic 'plumes' are used on several anodised cap badges (with maker die variations) having the relevant scrolls added - with slight variations on the actual specific design:- Caernarvon & Denbigh Yeo Cheshire Yeo Flint & Denbigh Yeo Pembroke Yeo Welsh Regt 10 Hussars The question is, did this practise occur? I.e. use the same plume and add a scroll - because most are NOT added via a backing plate but are integral to the piece. I.e. not a two part badge. I also have - what at first appears to be a Wilts Yeo cap badge, but has 2 small lug/pins at the bottom of the scroll each side on the rear- so clearly had a scroll attached at some point. However which regiment?- this is made more curious as the maker is R A HUGHES - a very early anodised maker. My guess is the larger Pembroke Yeo ( which I don't have). Incidentally my anodised Lancs Fusiliers is unmarked but fairly certain it's a Timings made badge. If I recall all badges post 2012 'SHOULD' be unmarked by the maker and some time shortly after the packaging too - hence the obviously FIRMIN bags with no maker name. With regards to the C&D Yeomanry cap badge, AZAM'S made an anodised copy. I attach the abomination for your interest. Regards all Bess Last edited by bess55; 06-06-21 at 01:19 PM. |

Here is an extract from the relevant MOD contract specifications document. While it is clear that badges and packaging should not show makers marks or details, no reason is given. The change was effective from 2012 but of course some marked badges and packaging remained in the system for a few more years.
