Default my anodised badge collection
Hi Members,

I am looking to expand my anodised badge collection so I have put them onto a simple web page :
http://www.smle.army-cap-badges.talk...collection.htm

If you have any of the badges by other makers that are not in my list I would be greateful if you
could send me a picture of the front , back and makers mark so that I may search for and purchase and add to my collection.

(the pages only use low res pictures but my take some time to load depending on your connection speed)

Many thanks
Chris Cunniffe

Shouldn't the Monmouth School badges all be CCF rather than OTC ?

( School OTC`s became part of the CCF in 1948 )

P.B.

Chris, you've sure gone to a lot of effort in cataloging yr collection in such a comprehensive way and it is a great layout.

Congratulations on such good work and, without any intention to be critical, please may I just info that these black(ened) badges are all available in anodised black?

R Hants - Gaunt
Light Inf - Gaunt
R Marines -
Scots Guards
UDR - JR Gaunt, B'ham

These are also available in black ano:
RA Small - Firmin London
POWR Yorks - LB&B
SAS
RPC - LB&B
Devon & Dorsets
RGJ
17/21 L

Sorry I can't name all manufacturer's marks here; am working from some dodgy fotos of my collection, as I'm away from home right now.

Also, Gurkha Military police is available in Silver anodised, as well as gold anodised. Both Firmin London.

For the rest of the info you seek, virtually everything you need to know is tabulated and/or illustrated in Chris Marsh's excellent book - "Anodised Aluminium: The 'No Bull' Cap Badge of the British Army", which I commend to you as the best source for researchers and collectors of good ol' Agonised Ally cap-badges.

Good luck with the rest of yr collection.

Best regards

William

Just to add to the 17th/21st Lancers & QRL :-

There is a proper Dowler (see below).... the one you have is the Firmin made but Dowler marked (1980s - Chris's book mentions something about why?)


I have 1 Shaw Munster AA (there is a poor strike version with a lower MM as well..... not sure if you could call that a variant though?)

I have 4 variants of the Smith & Wright Ltd AA

I have 5 variants of the Gaunt AA (there is also a Black AA, as mentioned by William above) - * Included is the Firmin made but Gaunt "Ltd." marked

I have 2 variants of the LB&BCo AA (not including marked and unmarked sliders)

I have 5 variants of the "New Post 1960" Firmin AA (6 if you include the Dowler marked one)

I have 4 variants of the "Old" Firmin AA

* The variance is in the back image .... the Dowler Motto is the only one with a change in the face and the back of the motto (as explained above).

Chris

your RUR Queens Crown with round loops north and south is a kilt badge worn by The Royal Irish Rangers and later The Royal Irish Regiment. It is worn on the right side of the kilt along with the badges of The Royal Inniskilling Fusilier and The Royal Irish Fusiliers all with loops.
