I always enjoy regiment/corps/regional collecting themes.

Great caps, thank you for sharing.
I've a small Welsh Guards collection, as a Cousin 3rd or something like that something or other removed, (must look it up sometime what the relationship is exactly), served in WW1, so always been interested. Just a quick question if I may, hopefully not highjacking your thread! I visited the WG museum at the Park Hall country side experience a number of years ago,in there, there was a bronze leak cap star on blades, the guy said it was for the OSD cap, I have never seen the cap with a bronze badge, always the wire one as depicted on your cap. Any ideas? Cheers Chris |

Thank you 41st
A nice bronze one with blades, same as the one I saw in the museum. Looks like it has service wear, and looks WW1 era?? Just haven't seen photos of one being worn. Is this in your collection may I ask? Cheers Chris |

Part of the shoulder titles I believe. The mark above the top fixing, is were the hexagonal fixing would have been. And maker marked ?

Who is the maker ? If it is indeed bronze, you have a very nice badge. It could be a one off.

Here are my two Welsh Guards officer visor caps; a WWII service dress version, and a named post 1953 dress cap.
