Royal Berkshire Boss Badges.

[thursdaychris]

Hello Chaps, The KC Infantry Officer's cap badge collection is growing steadily, although it certainly does seem that there's still a long way to go, however, I thought that I might show all of you fine fellows how far I've got, up to now.

The latest thing exercising my few remaining brain cells are R. Berks boss badges, according to K&K there are two slightly different forage cap badges with the gilt central device (pre and post, circa, 1920) The badge that I have with a very faded scarlet-cord boss seems a bit different to either of these.

Searching reveals numerous differences with these badges, unpierced gilt circlets and R.Berks tablets, for instance, there must have been quite a few makers variations, and at the moment I'm thinking that as long as I've got a gilt device on a scarlet boss and a bronze device on a khaki boss, everything should be fine.
