Faughs badges, one or two oddities

[red rags]

What was the first British Army badge to use clutch pins? I thought it was UDR officers gilded silver collars...
Odd Faughs officers cap badge with EAGLE! worn in 1960's (collar pattern but worn as cap) & rare pic of plumes to 1914, larger was WO's

I believe that the officers badge is one produced in the 1970's by the Birmingham Mint as part of their "Great British Regiments" commemorative set.

What do others think?

The coronet with clutch pins I can offer nothing on.

Thanks for posting the plumes, superb images of the two types.

Is the seperate coronet from a similar production?

Yes, nice to see the plumes.

Silly me, all came from a former Faughs officer who served in the '60's & I was unaware of B'ham production.

Coronet is correct but odd...please also see unusual maker, either from Kenya in the '50's (most likely) or Swaziland in the '60's

Made in India or Pakistan, a known maker.
