All Saints' College Bathurst Cadet cap badge

[mooke07]

Hi all,

I think from the motto that this could be a peaked cap badge as worn by the All Saints' College Bathurst army cadets. They were formed in 1878 and disbanded in 1883 and were not re- formed.

Or is it ?

Cheers Dean.

hi dean
what type of attachment is on the back?
certainly looks like its All Saints' College Bathurst but doest look that old.
maybe it is or maybe its just a school badge

Hi bc,

It is lugged and school badge would not have crossed rifles on it I would have thought. Age is a quandary. Cheers Dean

hey dean
yep it looks cadet like. rifles and lugs.
btw the manufacturer is Millers badges who were founded around 1900 in sydney. there still in existence. i wonder if they have records? or contact the school. im sure they have an historian of some sort
from the look of the badge i would say 1960s-1990s. that's my guess

Thanks bc and I am sure there are bound to be some cadet badge collectors out there - I sold some years ago and a few people contacts me with lots of knowledge about them at the time pre- Forum. Your info is really helpful and could well be a later badge as there are references to cadets from the college of more recent times but nothing I can pick up what badges were worn etc.

Cheers Dean

Hi Mike,

No sorry I get into enough strife with British infantry, cavalry and yeomanry so I was showing these out of interest. Have moved them on to a Forum member as as a swap. I do collect OTC badges to British family regiments - Lincoln's, Durham, Leicester's and Notts & Derby, cheers Dean.
