Default MGC BP&CO good or bad.
Hello, got this MGC badge at weekend. Never seen a BP&CO MGC before. Just appreciate any opinions. The makers mark compares closely with the one on my Norfolk Yeomanry cap badge.

That’s great news, I paid £3.00. Nice addition to my MGC collection.

An excellent pickup, well done. Easily worth x10 that I should think.

Very nice and I would have said much harder to find than the Norfolk Yeomanry.

I couldn’t quite believe this one, too good to be true. Just glad I bought it. Incidentally it was the only slider marked badge out of approx 75 in the box. To me a good sign. My Great grandfather Bertie Bland served initially in the Public Works Pioneer Battalion Middlesex Regiment then transferred to MGC, so always very happy to find anything associated with him. David
