They must have pneumatic tyres down there, surely Alex?

I think so...local jargon for checking tyre pressure is "Put some sky in my rounds..."

Back to sliders! Here are a few sliders all on Pattern 4362A/1896 and most of these antedate 1915.
I'd appreciate any comments Badge <51> Die 3. Badge <31>Die 16 Badge <41> Die 13 scarce. Badge <61> Die 16 Badge <36> (unique slider out of 60 P1896 badges) Die 12 - an odd group but most likely after 1915 there are quite a few parallel sliders with rounded ends most 5mm width fewer the same with 4mm with most of the tapered ones are 6mm tapering to 5mm. sorry reversed order; first (left) is <36>, then <41> and <61>, then <51> and <31> Last edited by KLR; 03-05-20 at 10:59 AM. |

Woodward
Another couple of contenders for the fake Woodward slider category.
Slider 'A' is from a 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers) badge Slider 'B' is from a Hertfordshire Regiment badge'. Fake Woodward.jpg |

Have you managed to ID the manufacturers of any of the badges you posted here? JT |

Could the Mods maybe make this a 'Sticky' thread so it is easy to find for reference purposes when people are trying to ID good or bad sliders?
Thanks, cheers, Alex |

Thanks JT.
Amazing to think that 5 blokes and 30 women (or thereabouts) churned out all those cap badges in WW1. Somewhere I bet a list of employees exists and wouldn’t it be amazing to know the names of those who made what’s sat in our collections. |

Any archive connected with this firm would be real find - there seems to be virtually nothing. JT |

Hi JT
Your level of detail does you great credit! I'm not a military badge collector, per se although I have picked them up with other material. I'm going to post photos of badges that I will be moving on in the near future but ONLY if they pass the opinion of the "brains trust"! Might be something there for one of our members.... Most impressive work again! Well done! |

JT asked about makers of four badges [post 22]
<3051> Die 3 almost certainly Firmin <3041> Die 13 anonymous ante 1915/16 <3036> Die 12 odd, anonymous ante 1915/16 <3061> Die 16 anonymous, crude, probably post 1915/16 I've defined 21 different dies but associating the makers is difficult. 'in progress' Yes, I did look at sliders but didn't get very far - I'll look again |

That, I find, is one of the frustrating aspects of cataloguing my QRWS lambs; you become extremely familiar with all the dies, so much so that you can spot them a mile off, yet pinning a maker to many of them remains ever-elusive. But with regard to sliders (as per the subject of this thread), are you able to identify the manufacturer of a given KLR badge on the basis of slider characteristics alone… are manufacturers’ sliders consistent in this sense? Some sliders are clearly by particular makers (the Woodward slider being a prime example). Can this, in your experience, be said of others when it comes to KLR badges? And as an aside, I’m yet to see a Woodward-made KLR cap badge. Luke H, posted a Lambourne RIF badge recently, with an interesting and highly-identifiable slider: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...94&postcount=6 Wondering if it might be useful if that particular Lambourne thread were to be merged with this?
