Solid gun badge, locally made?
Had this gun badge a while, got it from a friend of my Dad's, he can't remember where he got it from. Its totaly solid, any ideas at all of its origin? Thanks for your time. ..IMG_20160905_135255023.jpg

I would go with WW1 unvoided economy badge, 1917 I think?
Cheers Tony.

Thanks for quick responses chaps. I've seen economy with the voided gun like yours, but not totally unvoided, not seen any record of it either. Also the slider looks very tin pot.

1916 - the design was unpopular and replaced in 1917 with a voided version which had a wire strengthener behind the crown.
I did see a wired one with an unvoided face last week so there was some cross over. However I don't like the totally unvoided one in post 1 - the lack of piercing, colour of metal and type of slider all scream restrike to me. It is not Indian or Egyptian in it's origin as these badge types had a distinctive construction. Last edited by Alan O; 05-09-16 at 01:47 PM. |

I was on the same lines as you Alen O, don't know what to make of it really?
