Worn? Or Fantasy Items
Clearly intended for the Royal Artillery are/were these badges worn or are they another example of "speculative manufacturing"?
Thoughts please. Jon |

There was a batch of them for sale in March at £40.00 each ! There were also numbered Royal Logistic Corp ones from the same forum member.
https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ad.php?t=77856 Final post from seller in Log Corp thread: "It seems I have been undone. I have been told by people who know such things that these are not official badges. It is now clear why I have never seen such badges before. Both the Logistic and Artillery badges will now slink back into the slithery folder from whence they came. The many unseen others by their side. Exit stage left." .

I am not sure if the full story of these numbered badges is clear.
They seem to exist in such small numbers and not present in every collectors spare box. My examples I acquired in a large multi-folder collection of modern cloth insignia and all the items seeming to have a plausible identification. It appears that the folders seemed to be a rather academic collection from start to finish with at least 80% even I could recognize. The Logistic Corps items fascinating. Outside of this forum discussion I do not recall seeing other examples of these Artillery patches in the years gone by. The bottom line is that somebody has made these items in evidently small numbers and not embellished with sculls daggers and wings for the fantasy market. Somebody out there has an explanation. |
