I have a couple of the lugged ones in my spares box. North south lugs. Also a Gaunt Bham and a couple of the Gaunt London Ltd ones. The one of which is in a used condition the other is pristine.

I also have 1/2 dozen of the lugged version, I had assumed they were collars as I have never seen a smaller version.

John, the early lugged ones have very long sword blades, the later are as the slidered example. I suspectvthe later lugged may have been for a belt plate, although they are not the usual lugs for belts. Any ex Juniors out there shed any light?

My version on my collar badge card has 7 mm blades. My Dowler version and lugged badges have 10 mm blades. Struggling to upload photos at present. None are the very long blade type.
Both 7mm collar and 10mm cap badges are the same size.

From my notes:
Infantry Training Battalions (less Light Infantry Trg Bn) & Infantry Boys Battalion (long swords) ?-1959. Infantry Junior Leaders Battalion (short swords) 1958-? The Light Infantry Training Battalion were to wear the obsolete Ox and Bucks LI cap badge. No reference for collar badges. Marc

On Bess55 card on this thread, the early long sword version is much longer than any of my badges, so there is at least 3 lengths of sword blades.
