Bullion Embroidered Officers Badges
Attached is my small collection of wire embroidered cap badges. Excluding the smaller Welsh piece in the top row which is likely a collar. Varying time periods and construction.
thanks Jack

Hi Jack,
A really splendid group indeed. I have always loved bullion type badges be they headdress or formation etc, all are a fascinating area to study/collect too. I only have a few example scattered around my collections but find I get a great deal of joy from them. Well done..! Cheerio, Roy

Thanks fellas appreciate the kind words.
Leigh, I have never figured out with any certainty what the PWF badge was. Jack

"Always" the case, I just wondered if the badge had any provenance to a specific unit so at least that example could be properly identified.
I have only a few officers bullion badges, probably 6 or 7 more still fitted to caps & berets (a fair few more if you count German WWII collar patches & shoulder straps). This just about counts as an officers bullion badge? Last edited by leigh kitchen; 25-11-17 at 08:37 AM. |

G'day Irish & Leigh
Irish that's a great collection thanks for sharing. I have a growing collection mostly Cav & Yeomanry. and Leigh, that's an Inns of Court officers beret badge, there has been discussion on this one some where else on the forum, I think / hope. Its regarded as being hard to get but I do have one myself. Hope that this helps Regards Phil. |
