No worries thank you for looking Alli -
Sounds great
-
Will do. I mainly collect badges and headgear, but pick up other little bits and pieces like swagger sticks, regimental magazines, hackles, plumes, belts, bits of uniform, whatever takes my fancy really. I collect Operation Banner odds and ends. It's the history behind them that fascinates me.
-
Well I think you left the best until last, superb. I collect everything! but I could't hope to afford something like that. I have helmets but definitely not of that sort.
-
Ooh I like that, that's really nice. That certainly floats my boat!
-
Those Life Guards are just absolutely to die for, I collect Guards Division and Household Cavalry this is my latest beauty, Coldstream Guards officers silver badge:
-
Thank you, in no way as old as your beauties but its what I collect and I absolutely love these two in particular.
-
Don't we all
-
Ooh I love the RA that's stunning.
-
Beautiful and so beautifully displayed. They really are lovely. I have many treasures but these are personal favourites:
-
Royal Regiment of Fusiliers grenades in honour of S George's Day Alli
-
Agreed the way they are displayed is stunning. My poor badges all live in boxes, but that's because I like fiddling with them which I couldn't do if they were framed.
-
They are glorious, deep jealousy
-
They're absolutely beautiful, I particularly like the Sherwood Foresters and the Royal West Surrey, gorgeous, I'm very jealous
-
They're beautiful, I won't be on here again until tomorrow, just dashing off but I promise to give them my fullest attention then. Thank you for taking more photos
-
No its not a military badge, it was a fusilier badge and hackle made for a tv program, they come up occasionally. I collect mainly fusiliers and I would have really loved it. Never mind, one will appear again.
-
Thank you that would be great, would love to see them. I'm not cross, I'm really sad because it's fairly rare but I must be philosophical, and not cry into my wine
-
Oh my, how beautiful! and I love the way you've displayed them, really nice, I've just been outbid on a badge and I was feeling really sad but that's cheered me up Talk me through them?
-
Oooh that's a very handsome badge and an interesting history. Got any more? mine are probably not that exciting.
-
OK well having caused a stir at HQ, the final answer seems to be its a 67th(South Hampshire) Regiment of Foot tiger so pre 1881, I'm happy with that
-
PWRR HQ are on the case as is the Hampshire Regt museum. I've also got everyone at HQ looking at some unusual TRF. I like to keep people busy
-
Thank you, I'll do that, if it's Hampshires I also have a couple of contacts at Princess of Wales Royal Regiment(Hampshires descendent regiment) HQ at the Tower and at their Regimental museum so they may be able to help as well. Thanks Jean-Samuel
-
Now being told by a York and Lancs expert that it's probably Hampshires Well I can state categorically it's a tiger. And a planchet. A tiger planchet. Alli
-
Yup thats the one! thank you, I appreciate you finding that. And from a favourite dealers site too Alli
-
I believe it to be a planchet for a pattern of York and Lancs Regt collars, I am disregarding Gordon Highlanders, Hampshire or Leicestershire due to the paw flick, nice unusual little item anyway. Alli
