Clearly all must be officer pattern badges I think. Thank you for posting them.

Very nice indeed, I particularly like the first example with bold fifth cycle Birmingham hallmarks complete with that superb and most unusual pin.

I will assume not, which is a pity, the twenty fourth is a long standing favourite, notwithstanding, that is a very fine collection of cap badges.

Afternoon Frank,

Sorry late getting back, no more officers (well silver) cap badges do have a small collection of 24th/SWB so will try and get some images on.

Thanks to you and everyone for the comments/likes.

Alex.

Here you go SWB collection.

The 24th glengarry is an early 1900's copy with lugs (E/W) , the glengarry above is questionable as no real proof that the badge was worn, likewise the Royal SWB not going to commit if genuine as again no real proof if worn and numerous copies around/available.

That is a fine collection, how long has it taken I wonder, just basic SWB cap badges, there are so many variations out there to find, let alone all the officers examples, I still particularly like that Bent and Parker in the original post.
Why the SWB, just an admiration, like me, or perhaps a more personal reason, family connection?
A super assemblage, you must be pleased.

Afternoon Frank.

It's the Oldman who collects and being 85 he doesn't do computers, he's been collecting since the 40's and his father (my grandfather) was in the SWB out in India in the 20's.

Do collect all of Wales (SWB stuff is about a tenth).
