That badge is going to go for a lot of money. The question is more whether it will go into a collection or end up being bought by a delaer and sent to Boselys.

Somerset L.I.
I noticed this:-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2609014269...=STRK:MEDWX:IT As to whether the Somerset Light Infantry was A/A, Franklin Mint or chromed is anyones guess. |

The thing is that although this badge is from the rarer group of A/A badges within this 'rare' bunch it is still relatively common. There are far rarer badges than this out there which are usually missed. I actually need one of these but I'm too tight to spend silly money on it preferring to possible swap for some rare pieces that I have. My latest acquisition, which I received this week, was a fair dinkum genuine Jewish Chaplains badge which has to be one of the rarest (if not the rarest) badge in A/A land. Although its official Firmin packet was mislaid I managed to source an image of badge and packet before it was posted on to me and the badge reconciles with others in manufacturing technique that I have seen. It cost me 20 quid from a dealer... Regards Chris |

But it looks like it may not be an AA... Images show a genuine AA Somerset Light Infantry cap badge, on the left and the Ebay badge on the right, for comparison. |

Somerset L.I.
Yes, when you look at the two images William has posted this seems like a chromed earlier Somerset L.I. badge or a Franklin mint badge as it is the wrong shape.
