    SOUTH AFRICAN CONSTABULARY COLLECTION


    Recommended Posts

    Mike

    Congratulations on a very comprehensive and attractive collection. I have got rid of most of my SAC material, but I have kept the five-clasp QSA that belonged to Superintendent W T S Mark, who was the SAC's Chief Armourer.

    Regards

    Brett

    NIce - the Victorian crowned badge, is it shown complete or should it have a seperate devce such as the lion insignia in the centre?

    Hello Leigh......

    There is normally a coloured leather patch behind the voided badges which denotes the squadron that they belong to which would match the piping on the shoulder title.....

    There is no Lion on the Pre-1902 badge it is blank, with the exception of the Medical slouch had badge which has a circular White enamel device with a Red Cross in center.....

    HEADQUARTERS - Red

    "A" DIVISION (Western Transvaal) - White

    "B" DIVISION (Northern Transvaal) - Light Green

    "C" DIVISION (Eastern Transvaal) - Light Blue

    "D" DIVISION (Orange River Colony) - Deep Yellow

    Interesting, seems an unusual design - Id've thought, coming across the badge without central device that it would be Indian, Sikh.

    It is going very well but I am only doing it for the Canadian Scouts.....  I assisted with the author of the Regimental History and another collector of the Scouts whom I am sorry to say have both passed away so there is just me looking after them now.....   The author who also wrote the History of the Canadians in the SAC.....   Am still working on my main collection trying to complete it which I never will but it is fun.....   Keeps the grey matter working......
