A mystery to me
Greetings all.
this just walked in my door. Young lad got it from his g-grandfather. It was in a small group of CEF pieces, but I am guessing British. I've had a couple goes through K&K and Churchill and Westlake with no luck. It might be the eyes, not sure. Anyway, have at it with many thanks. phil

I've got a couple. Tentatively ID'd as an arm badge for a military school (Duke of Yorks?).
I'll try to track it down tomorrow, Ian H |

RQMS worn above 4 chevrons on the lower arm. Pre-1915 I think.

This is really interesting. I've tried to google an image with no success. Any suggestions as to a reference volume to look at? Thanks.

found a line drawing in a Soldier of Fortune magazine. Suggests only WW1.

Quote:
The 8 pointed star is often described as an East Yorks Collar badge but is not as we have established above. Regularly seen on Ebay mis described. regards

Indeed, Simon, the magazine was incorrect as I found a Victorian Ranks chart a little later, but the image was painfully small to see. Just couldn't find an image on a uniform.
Marc, that is a terrific image. Very clearly defines the rank and affinity to the guns. Thanks very much all. I shall pass this on to my young friend with the rank badge. phil
