Nice Assortment of WW2 British Army Cloth Badges
A few bits that I picked up whilst out and about today.
The mix of Divisions (4th Infantry Division, 4th Indian Division and 13th Infantry Division) would suggest that this this lot relates to a soldier who served in the 1st/4th Essex Regiment during WW2 and shortly after. Nice to see uncut pairs of printed formation badges. Not my area of collecting so will be disposing of these. |

Another pick up today, nothing scarce or valuable, just a nice quality, post 1902 NCOs rank crown that has had a pin attachment added. Still retains it's original paper label Abraham & son, Contractor, Silver & Gold Lacemen, 45 Dean Street, Soho, London

Mike,
A good spot. Something I had not noticed. Jon |

I've wondered before about the nail arrangement of a horse shoe- anyone know why they often have more nail holes on one side than the other? I've been unable to find a reason via Google. Regards, Paul.

"That includes a difference between left and right hooves, just like human feet. The outside breadth of the shoe is typically longer than the inside. Prefabricated horseshoes are even marked to indicate whether they are made for right or left hooves. There are typically six nails per horseshoe, though some may use eight." |
