Hi Mervyn,

Some of the badges were also accompanied by a certificate and these are very rare and hard to find.

I have also being collecting these badges as a sideline and they are very interesting.

I will post some items from my collection.

Regards,

Will

The example is larger than the "normal" cape badge.

This is a recent acquisition but I have not seen a reference or an example like this before.

Any ideas/opinions would be welcome.

The tin mug in the background was engraved by a rebel of Irish descent and this was done in one of the rebellion prison camps.

Thanks Chris,

As collecting and displays remain dynamic, I have also made some additions and I have changed the "Beyers" display over a period of time.

I am unfortunately in a place in South Sudan where the internet is not very good at times.

Will

I recently acquired this set and I suspect that it may be part of the Pattern 1903 equipment.

Can anyone positively identify it?

_{Thanks Mervyn,}

_{The condition of this specific example is very good so may possibly have been used as an example by the SAP?}

_{It is still amazing to see what can be found in South Africa.}

_Will

Thanks, any idea where they were made?
