Once again only badges that you can touch or have access too.
I have put a several below to get the ball rolling.

Hi Guys,
Just closing down this thread on a/a badges with either brass or nickel sliders.
Could any members with a Parachute Regt Q.C a/a badge made by HW. Timings please confirm they have one, or better still post a piccy of the reverse.

Also wanted is confirmation of a K.O.Y.L.I badge made by Grove M.F.G.

Would be greatly appreciated if members can confirm these 2 badges exist.
Regards
UKbrits

Hi Alan,
Thanks for that info. I guess you can't remember if it was made by Grove M.FG?

Hi Colin,
I can confirm that my anodised KOYLI has a white metal slider marked GROVE MFG B.HAM. I also have a version with an earlier Smith & Wright slider.

Regards all

Bess

Hi Bess,
Thanks for the info on the K.O.Y.L.I badge.
Can you confirm that your Para Regt badge is made by Timings or Grove M.F.G?
