Assorted badges (15th hussars, buffs, RGA, remounts)
Hello all,
New member. I have come across from the GWF. I have a very small collection of cap badges as representative examples of regiments various uncles, great uncles and grandkids parents served with. I am curious as to how many are genuine or reproduction. The first 3 badges I got cheap at a car boot from the same person so if repro, that’s fine. The others from militaria fairs over the years. 1. Remounts. Not sure amount this one, it’s die cast, I think repro? 2. East Surrey regiment. Has had a crude solder repair to the slider - I think genuine badge, DIY repaired? 3. RGA revolving wheel type - slider is clipped short (possibly to repair the east Surrey above?). I think genuine? 4. RGA non-revolving wheel - I think genuine? 5. 15th Hussars - die cast, not sure. It is bimetal. I hope genuine! 6. Kings own. Die cast aswell, I think genuine? 7. Two types of ‘The Buffs’ both slightly different (ww1 or ww2??). Not sure, I hope genuine. Thank you for your assistance. These are just a small display with my Tower of London poppy so rarity value etc is less important than representation of the regiments. I have paid much for any of them, I think the 15th hussars was most expensive at about £15 Thanks Ed |

Welcome.
The Remounts is die stamped construction and is fake. Originals of this pattern were die cast. Both gun badges are Royal Artillery, there was no separate badge for RGA. Your single piece badge is a tall orb fake. Others are all genuine. |
