RA Badges

[lugerlout]

Could anyone help me with these badges, I'd like to know if possible from what period they date. I should add that they are all metal detecting finds so aren't in the greatest condition.

If anyone can explain what the 'loops' are either side of the slider on the reverse of top example I'd be grateful.

Thanks.

Hi,

The cap badge with the strengthener behind the UBIQUE scroll dates from 1917 and I think it was a short-lived practice.

That without the voiding in the gun wheel is the 1916 economy issue, also short-lived.

The last one is a fairly standard issue from circa 1906 to the 1950s and even worn into the 1960s. However one of the experts could probably tell you more based on the length of the slider.

Cheers, Keith
