sabrigade Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I have eventually found some time to follow up on collectables in the Sudan. This is a silver hallmarked cap badge which I assume belonged to an officer.

Ulsterman Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Interesting UK .925 silver marks too-I can not figure out who made this badge and where-

Ulsterman Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 No- I am looking through my books as I type. Most of my stuff ends @ 1927. However, I know a guy who has a comprehensive UK silversmiths' Index. I'll call him in a few hours (time zone difference means it's 5am there).
