    1. Thanks - you may indeed be correct - did the army use olive-drab wool in the 19th century ? Khaki colored cotton, yes, but I doubt if such a dark woolen was used at that time. Let's see what others may say in response.
    2. my badge is exactly like this one, copied from the website, except for 2 minor bits of moth damage to the wool cloth surround, one at the top, above the crown, and one at the very bottom.
    3. I am a very new member, and perhaps this is not the right forum, but here is my query: I have a Guards RSM badge, number 2 dress, Queen Victoria crown, dated I assume in the late 1800's, perhaps 1870, similar to the badge pictured in the article recently appearing in these pages. The embroidery is clean and bright, but there are 2 small moth holes in the surrounding olive-khaki wool cloth. Can someone please advise me the value of this item. Thank you. Saraota steve
