I thought that they were yours, date acquired and number of badge in your collection. Or the same for a previous owner.
It may possibly be the same, but, for a store; added to stock on 22-03-03 badge number 37 of 200. A guess. Marc Last edited by 54Bty; 12-11-15 at 07:44 PM. |

Not added by me and they didn't come from a collector. They were given to me by a friend. I think they came from a SAS member who he knew.
I wonder if anyone else has one with similar markings?? Any idea of age? I know i've had them for 10/15 years. Best I can do Thanks for your ideas on it. Regards Irv |

Both reall
The markings on the back were added by the manufacturer.
Originally made by Russell Kings Badges, or RKB. Business sold to JKP (this person still alive so i will elaborate no further on name) where similar markings were used. ( as well as JKP) I also have one with a price tag sticker on it but with RKB tel number on the rear.image.jpg Regards Jon |

Hi Irv,
In my opinion it was probably fairly new stock when you received it. The badge seems to be dated 2003. It is my understanding from a good source that the badges and berets were acquired separately by the regiment and the badge sewn on by the tailoress before the beret was issued to the trooper. Jack |

That is correct Jack
At one time she even had to go down into the town market to buy some badges locally as she had run out! I've a horrendous badge that I was lucky to get from the storeman who had not long removed it from an OFFICERS beret!image.jpg
