Default Stormount Dundas and Glengarry Scotish Officers Badges oh and My Rant

Wow, so many of us Canadian Collectors are posting some SWEET stuff So, I thought I' would as well. I'm very happy with the badges but the price I paid for them was astronomical and really heralds the eventual end to my collecting as the prices for what I collect are so so high, I can't see how I can afford to collect in the future. I am now on my soapbox

F
On that happy thought,

Cheers,

Greg

Default and another

Here's another second pattern silver badge, this one by Scully. The vertical broach pin appears to be original.
Any idea who the maker of the flat back badge was? It seems to have a logo - a chess knight or something?

Hi Greg,
Yes, the struck up badge is by Scully. I was curious about the maker of the flat backed badge in your posting.
Here's why I'm asking: I also have a badge identical to yours - flat back, & marked STERLING with a tiny horse head logo. I had one fairly knowledgable fellow tell me that it may be a bad badge, made circa 1980 by an Ontario forger. I'd hope he was wrong, but I don't know for sure.

Doug

Default SDG officer cap badge and collars made by Gaunt London

Hello,
Thanks for your very interresting posts that I read with the greatest attention.
I would like to bring my contribution with this set of SDG 2nd pattern officer cap badge and collar badges made by J.R.Gaunt London. Only the collar badges are stamped J.R.Gaunt London in very small lettres and they are matching with the cap badge metal and tone. I got them together and I would qualify them as "Service Dress" badges. I think they are original WW2 badges...
