What a/a badges are worth buying ??
I wonder if anyone else is like me and knows that whilst some anodised badges can be worth a lot of money, and others only have only a fairly nominal value ,we dont know which a/a badges are worth looking out for.
I wonder if anyone is willing and able to provide a list of the more valuable anodised badges that,if you came across an example on your travels, would be well worth buying ( providing the price was right ). P.B.

as a rough guide I'd look out for those Infantry Regts that did not emerge from the Brigade system and almost any with a King's Crown.. the following are IMO the most scarce (and costly to get hold of!): RUR (KC) RSF (KC & QC) RB (KC) Somerset LI W Yorks E Yorks Lanc Fus S Lancs (Beret) Loyals (KC & QC) I'll let others add the Cav and Corps etc. Andy

agreed but they are not in the same ball park as the prices realised for the Infantry badges? Andy

Some QC versions of the KC are rarer - e.g. Surrey Yeomanry. Regards Chris

Beware of these. Genuine Timings marked ones do exist but so do dodgy unmarked 1980's Gaunt pieces and fake marked Timings. Regards Chris

For me nothing as although they were worn by serving members these subdued badges were never officially authorised at War Office or MoD level. It all depends on what one collects - if happy with Regimental authorisation then possible a fiver. Regards Chris

Hi Guys,
There are a lot rarer items than those listed so far but you will have to wait until the book comes out to find out what they are - all backed up with official documentation too. Yes, I am going as fast as I can... As a teaser the “P” (Buckinghamshire Hussars Yeomanry) Battery, 299th (Royal Buckinghamshire Yeomanry) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery (TA) is pretty scarce. See piccy - note the existence of the scroll below. Regards Chris

Happy that Mine is a good Timmings. I have seen the unmarked copies going for around the £40 mark which I suppose in relation to price of the real deal could be considered acceptable as a gap filler. it seems that there are those who are willing to pay it! Ry

Do you know the difference between a good Timings mark and a dodgy one? Regards Chris
