Kings Liverpool Cap badge
http://www.buywyze.com/shop/viewphot...1018001&phqu=2
I am not criticising the auction house BUT this is the exact same badge as worn by the modern Liverpool UOTC. The 1950's Kings (Liverpool) Regt's badge has a seeded (lots of little dots) scroll. This was repeated in the a/a version. The plain scroll is later. Just goes to show you. Should you want one of these an identical badge can be bought on ebay for Liverpool UOTc for a fraction of the price. A seeded version is far harder to find.

Picture of sealed pattern dated 22/11/71 ( years after the Kings Liverpools and Manchesters amalgamated ) attached.
I have been trying to find out ( without success ) if any of the Liverpool cadets might have worn the same badge as the LUOTC. Liverpool Institute CCF certainly wore the smaller size Kings badge but whether they wore the seeded of non seeded I dont ( yet ) know. P.B. N.B. Regiment on the S.P. is called The Kings Regiment ( Liverpool )

Hi Guys,
Rule of thumb for A/A badges is that seeding is pre no seeding - not always 100% but a good indicator of age. Reason was that seeded scrolls reflected so much light that the lettering could not be easily read from a 'parade inspection' distance. Therefore, many badges had new dies re-sunk with seedless scrolls. This occurred in the early 1960's. Auction houses and A/A badges - don't get me started on this... Regards Chris
