Post Your Maker's Mark
Refer to Brent's suggestion in another thread:
Tinto, I'm thinking we start a "Post your makers mark" thread, and once we have enough information, we then separate them into possibly alphabetical order going by maker, and then section them into "hat, collar, shoulder title, button" categories. Although given the amount of Gaunt made badges, we may have to give them their own thread, sectioned into "hat, collar, shoulder title, and button" categories. Hi All, I'll start the ball rolling with a few pictures. 9th MR hat NZE hat, has blackening around the NZE NZ Medical Corps, has ".N.Z.M.C." on scroll Tunnellers Company 5th MR collar, BZ 11th Taranaki Regiment hat/collar, with battle honours, BZ 11th Taranaki Regiment hat/collar, with battle honours, brass 8th MR hat, larger type, BZ Royal New Zealand Artillery hat, brass Cheers, Tinto |
