Can anyone help with a little more information about this please?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNUSUAL-WW...item1e89f9c56b

Not my area but am curious as I have recently come across a similar one.

Many thanks, Ivan

The nearest thing I have to that is a WW1 picture frame with an enamelled metal bar at the top in Kings Liverpool Regiment colours .

I also have a number of examples of the cloth arm badges worn by the Kings, in the same colour combinations ( definitely worn in WW2 and possibly in WW1 ) by some of the Liverpool battalions.

I don't know if the item on E bay is a sweethearts item or a regimental arm badge that didn't need sewing on to uniform I suspect it is the first but others may know better

P.B.

It could be Royal Armoured Corps or possibly Suffolk Regt.

It is a type of sweetheart badge, with regimental ribbon for the Middlesex Regt, it says it on the back, I have one similar for the Wiltshire Regt, I've seen others too.

Hi,
As has already been said, these badges were sweethearts; they covered a range of regiments and corps, each with the identity printed in a cut out on the reverse. The regimental ribbon was displayed behind a rectangular piece of bevelled glass surrounded by a gilt frame.

AJP & Co. Ltd was used as a silver mark between the wars by AJ Pepper & Co Ltd, Birmingham. Maybe they also made these souvenirs.

Perhaps Silver tourist can tell us more?

Quite an interesting description for the Middlesex Regiment on the stable belt site:

http://www.stablebelts.co.uk/

As has been said The Suffolk Regiment wore a flash in the regimental colours of red and yellow ( attached is from "Badges on Battledress" )
