Kings Regiment.
Sometime ago I posted a badge that I hoped was a Vic/ Edward example of the King's Regt.Luke kindly confirmed and KLR informed me it was a Firmin die. I went back to the antique centre today and there was another Vic example there. When I got it home I compared it to the other and noticed it was from a different die. This prompted me to dig out my other early type Kings cap badges and they are all different. I just wondered how many dies there could be for this badge and is it feasible to try to collect them all?
Cheers John .

Four badges are cap badges for the 'King's Regiment'
The top left badge is made by Firmin. The top right badge is what I have numbered Die 13 (not certain of the maker but similar to Firmin - cf basal ridge) The phototgraph on the right shows...top Die [13] badge but not certain of maker lowrer the lower badge looks like a Firmin derivative... They were authorised on 7th December 1896 - and were made obsolent on 26th Sep 1926. It was defined as War Office Pattern 4362/1895. There were thousands made - I have counted 21 dies alone. The lower badge is a 1926 officer's King's collar badge Last edited by KLR; 20-07-22 at 10:45 AM. Reason: repetition
