      It's a sweethearts brooch by the jewellers JR Gaunt, who are still active and based in London and Birmingham, it appears that the retaining pin is lacking but as far as I can see no problem with it. Paul

      Information of where the 3rd was billeted will be in the 1888 army list, I'm not sure whether it is one of those on line. Paul

      I believe it was used in India somewhat later as some Indian troops had deep religious problems about travelling overseas. Pal

      Gordon Suakin 1885 is all I can find all though there may be some extra campaign for some under attachment. Paul

      I am researching a Star of the Order of the 25th February 1948, IE the first class, I can't seem to find any appearing in Czech auctions/dealers lists, does anyone know roughly how many were issued and has anyone ever seen one come up for sale. All the best, Paul

      One can only hope that they were all bought by the same buyer and therefore kept together. Paul

      There was some royal related Jordanian material turned up a few years ago, including a Malaysian collar set and a Taiwanese high ranking order amongst other things which were being touted around by some somewhat disreputable Jordanian jewellers. How they go their hands on them I know not. Paul

      Nice, a similar piece sold in a North German Auction in 2012 for 85 euros. Paul

      My late friend John Dibble who was commissionaire at Jack Barclays Rolls Royce joined as a boy soldier in 1938 at the age of 14, he later served at D.Day with the Guards Division. Boys could Join the Army as boy soldiers with parent's or Guardian's consent although they did not take part in active service until they were 18. Paul

      E-bay I am sure was invented to part fools from their money. Paul

      Love the collar never seen one before. I have always felt sorry for Dom Pedro II he seems to have been a thoroughly decent chap who cared for his people but his final reward from them was the order of the boot with oak leaves and diamonds. Nice Paraguay war photo. Thanks lambert, Paul

      Thanks Saad, yes I have encountered these fakes on certain on-line sites. Paul

      Thanks Lambert, I did see an Austrian made Knight's badge which was 34mm wide, probably made to fit in with the recipient's other orders. But yes you are correct that Brazilian made pieces appear to be made to the same size specification. Paul

      I heard a while ago that somebody had found a hoard of Bahawalpur medals as well as well a some dies, as a result some weird and wonderful things have appeared on the market which always makes me a bit scared especially as I collect Indian Princely States amongst other things. Paul

      I have encountered this badge before but have never been able to find out what it is, I would be delighted if someone out there can come up with the answer. Paul

      Given what happened in China in the 30's and 40's I would doubt if many records survive, it is possible that JC may have some more information about what has and hasn't survived. Paul
