BOUGHT ON LINE
I thought I would like to share with you my two latest buy's from e bay. Both good dealers. The first is a Judge Advocate General’s beret bullion badge. I never knew there was one.
The other is a RAOC officer gilt & enamel badge with the motto "SUA TONANTI TELA" which was only worn for a short while. There was one at Bromley on Sunday with collar's going for £110, this one without collar's and a third of the price. There is some slight damage to the enamel.

Is the JAG badge really bullion or is it embroidered in yellow cotton? And is it a beret badge or an arm badge? There may be images from the Nuremburg Trials that give a clue?

I think I was over keen in my description. Mike, I am sure that it is a beret badge and I don't think that the seller, robinmcg11, who I buy quite a few embroidered badges from would mislead the buyer deliberately. But thanks for your comments and I will try to find a image of one some where.

I stress that I do agree with your comments about the vendor. And I can hazard a guess at the identity of the (impeccable) source of this particular badge.

Judge Advocate General patch
I have just come across this thread from a few years ago. I also have this patch and can confirm it is thread not bullion. It measures 79mm x 57mm.
Too me, it is definitely too big for a beret and would look oversized on a hat. I am inclined to think it would more likely have been worn on the sleeve or on a sash/armband of some kind. The actual colour of my patch is a little darker than the images shown. It would be interesting to know if this patch was only worn by the Army because of the khaki backing or if it was a general issue which included the RAF as well. |

Hi Jerry
This patch is mentioned in 'Nobbs' notes in section 'I' sub para 12/3. It states: ''A shoulder flash worn in active service by J.A.G Staff. We do not know the size of the badge, or the colouring" The drawn image is as the patch I have submitted but does have a QC vice the KC as the 2 examples shown in this thread. Regards |

I have now renamed mine as a arm badge.
