    1. badges such as this were done by recovering service personnel as well as bored soldiers or wives/girlfriends, I have a few
    2. I also have never seen this badge, in any context
    3. Probably Monmouthshire rather than montgomeryshire from the type of dragon imo, though not a good math for either with another look, no loop in the tail
    4. it appears to be hallmarked silver made in Britain, for the SAS and broken
    5. seems a very vague collector description for something he didn't know the answer to. he obviously had a great collection
    6. in Jon Mill's badges on battledress p681 #3178, unattributed but often associated with 52nd div in Europe after D Day
    7. a shame so many of the pictures are gone (linked to GHV?) the 1918 is visible and a beauty, as is the 1916, the rest are gone
    8. 2nd Boer War 1st Bn Royal Welsh Fusiliers sun helmet Pagri flash made from a shoulder strap. Also showing, not mine, an original period photo showing an example as well as the example in the RWF museum.
    9. very nice historical items. I have a company colour for the 8th Company Welsh Guards. this might be of interest https://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/britishinfantry/grenadiercolours.htm
    10. canadian with the peaked cap and an aussie with the slouch hat, bith circa WWI
    11. helmet is post WWII bandsmans type for marines etc & the badge looks a bit poorly struck for guards use imo
    12. I would agree from the peak and the chinstrap that it is interwars, hard to be more precise
