Royal Artillery, Should I?
Hi All,
If I was to start a small Royal Artillery badge collection, would either, or both, of the two badges shown, be a good start? I've chosen these two because they do both appear to be maker marked.

As said both good badges, but don't lift the blades as in pic 3 to look at the maker mark as you'll find they will snap off or fracture.

I would say these are a very good start for some nice quality OSD examples.

A good start to your collection! But you’re already lost!....... It will not be a small collection, you’ll keep finding different makers, different crowns, different metals etc, etc. Have a look at some of the albums members here on the forum have and be prepared...... and Welcome to our world of Artillery badge collecting! Regards, D.J.

Many thanks for all your thoughts on these two badges, chaps, I did, actually, buy them both, but until today, I had not added anything further. I am still playing around with my Suffolk stuff, and I'm afraid that "gun badges" are still on the back burner. However, my interest free, financial arrangements, with Paypal, require me to spend at least £99, everytime, and so today I have added my first new "gun badge", to make the numbers up.
Hopefully, the attached badge will get the thumbs up, I can only post a front view at the moment, but it has come from, dare I say, an impeccable source. I may have paid, a bit more for it, but, just like the London tramp, who wanted £20 for a cup of tea. I take the view that it's not really my money, anyhow!
