MACHINE GUN CORPS QUESTION

[CAM]

I recently saw a Machine Gun Corps cap and collars in WM. KK state there were silver and silver plate but were they also made in WM?

Regards

I’ve never seen a Wm MGC badge I’d regard as genuine.

I do remember some elsewhere stating they were post war, but the pictures shown seemed to be from the considered fake die.
A mix of badges here, regular and small sizes in bronze and silver.

Thanks both.

I have his larger OSD badge

BUT I have a small silver crossed - I thought it was a collar badge but it turned out that it was a 1919 pattern.

I have my badges somewhere........

Post FWW the Cdn MGC were to wear white metal badges.

Officers wore collar badge sized badges in silver with silver prongs on collars AND cap post-1919.

Be warned that someone has a load of small sized G&S marked badges in silver about 10 years or so ago.
Here my J&Co 1918 marked long lug small size cap badge.
