Have you tried the British And Commonwealth Military Badge Forum ? Someone there may have some ?

If your looking at selling them, try The British and Commonwealth Military Badge Forum. They won't be happy if you ask for valuations and sell them elsewhere though. This has happened a few times.

Hi Andy
Thanks for your reply. The reason I asked is because a very similar badge (possibly the same one) was offered at the Bosley sale of 5th July 2017 Lot 151. The badge was described as : "Georgian Officer's Regency shako plate attributed to Staff …." It was reversed metals and had a pin-back replacement, and the Unicorn was missing its horn, just as Brian's item. I feel sure this is the same badge.
What evidence supports this view was not given. Possibly Hamilton ?
Anyway, have a nice Christmas and all the best for the New Year. Regards Jeff
And you Jeff.

Jeff is the badge ( 3rd image ) one piece ? It looks gilded too ? Would be nice to have a coloured photo of it. Its a badge to the Grenadier Guards i didn't know about Jeff, thanks for brining it to my attention. I'll have to get in touch with Gary Gibbs at the Guards Museum, see if he knows anymore about it. Can i copy these images please Jeff /
Regards
Andy

Thanks Jeff, very interesting. The Regimental Badge is still the The Royal Garter surmounted by a Crown with the Royal Cypher in the centre, and the Grenade is still the secondary badge. It says Battalion badges and Company badges ? I believe this should be Battalion Colours and Company Colours.The 3rd image, could this be Coldstream Guards ? as it's not the coat of arms on the eight pointed star ? I'm still a firm believer that the reversed metals are for other ranks, but even this would be hard to prove. Especially to this era. The third one though to be honest i couldn't be 100%. I had chance to buy the Regency Shako badge about a year ago ( it was all agreed ) but i got shafted with it. The Military Gentleman, most definitely no gentleman ! Ex Forces too ?
Thanks again Jeff

I don't believe the reversed metals represents different Battalions. Or I've never heard of that before.

I believe the reversed metals are for OR's.

The 1st Tunic is Canadian, Governors General Foot Guards i believe. Or something like that.

I would say £5000.00 at least. From what i have seen on the internet over the years. I do check daily for Guards items to buy. I would say if they went missing how much would that lot cost to buy nowadays. ? Outstanding collection just a shame its to the Coldstream Guards !
Andy
Pat, could i be cheeky and ask that if you remove the items from the frame. Would it be possible for me to have some images of the items front and back.

I agree with Jerry on the Crown, post 1953.

Imagine if it was a Coldstream Guards WO1's..........it would be worth considerably less.
