Hi,

I have recently joined this site and i am a Corps Commissionaire, we provide a service of wide ranging tasks within the security sector and i am proud to be part of a unique corps that has a wonderful history stretching back to 1859, i also collect their items and very much enjoy doing so, i am trying to obtain a brass star/kings crown cross belt badge which has the solid centre and the star with small kings crown and central enammelled centre, doe's anyone have these badges for sale or who knows where i could try to obtain them, here are a few of my favourite pieces.

Heres a link to another, short thread:

The Corps is still around although in a far different form than it was, it's moved on from the original kind of old soldier commissionaire standing outside the hotel that we think of.

Henry Hook of Rorkes Drift fame was, I think, a member of the Corps & certainly a hotel commissionaire, when some passing low life snatched his VC from his chest & successfully made off with it.
