Unusual badges
I have 3 unusual badges to ask members for their opinions on please
1. Silver QVC KOSB but with gilt wash on crown, wreath and writing. I bought this from Bosley about 10 years ago and very dirty so the gilt did not show until gently cleaned. I rang Bosley who had not realised this and he just said "Probably for a senior officer"? Has anyone else got one like this? 2. Silver 9th Lancers with gilt crown and top to pennons ex Hugh King. Also bought from Bosley about 10 years ago - he said he had never seen one before. 3. Cast nickel and brass Officers Royal Dragoons but with reverse metals - i.e. brass title. It is beautifully made with fur on the lion and correct looking lugs and looks too well made for a fake and no casting flaws. Although I have 2 QVC Officers RDs both by Bent & Parker, I have never found a Kings Crown version |
