DCLI Officer's silver beret badge
Hi again all,
Another nice and not so easy to obtain. A Duke Of Cornwall's Light Infantry Officers silver (unmarked) beret badge. Long silver loops and the badge measures 33x30mm. The badge itself is not covered in K&K but I believe this is post-1951 issue badge. Cheers Dean |

Much appreciated thanks.
I have seen trends where a particular badge "floods" the market and this could be one but better silver badges are not cheap to repro. Look forward to your further input on this one, cheers Dean. |

Hallmarked silver DCLI.
Good evening.
And then there`s a hallmarked silver version by J R Gaunt and Son, assayed Birmingham, either 1921-22, or 1946-47, you choose. Size 32mm x 26mm. Loops east-west. I have a number of examples and all feature the mouthpiece of the bugle horn to the viewer's right. Beret badge? Collar badge? You decide. Enjoy. S.T. |

Hi S.T,
I did wonder if a silver badge would cross your radar? Yes I did consider a collar but the size from collars I have had was different and so I opted for the beret badge but as you say it would be hard to make an absolute call without provedance. Appreciate the input, cheers Dean. |
