Default Australian corps of signals pre 1931 badge.

Dear All.

As I seem to be on somewhat of a roll on the Forum at present I thought I would chance my arm at hopefully finding something.

I have been advised by my friend and guru Cliff Lord Oh yes and well know author !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was an Australian Corps of Signals cap badge prior to the 1931-1941 version that had no scroll at the bottom with the words Certa Cito on it.

Just the roundal with the words Australian Corps of Signals. I anybody within the forum has such a badge is there any chance of a photograph please. I feel more than happy that Cliff has advised me of this but I have never seen one.

Secondly and still on the Australain Corps of Signals badge hunt. I am advised that there is not only a 1930 Blue Enamalled cap badge like I already have in my web site but there was a RED/BROWN version of this private purchase item aswell. Again if anyone has a photograph I would be delighted to see it. I am advised that this particular version of the badge is AS RARE AS HENS TEETH.

Home some of you ladies and gentlemen can help.

With my kind regards

Chris Walker

Hi Chris,

That scroll less version of that Signals badge you are chasing is extremely rare - In all my years of collecting the only picture of one I have seen is in Jeff Cossum's book!
