1970s RSM Guards

[LLCoolDL]

Hi All, 

I have a few badges I'm trying to value. I have the attached, given to me by a Queens Guard in 1983. I''ve been told its worth £10 but I've also seen a post elsewhere suggesting its worth considerably more. So interesting in a second opinion and hoping I can get it here? 

Many thanks for all your help.

I have a similar one give to me in Hong Kong in the late '70's.  I'll be curious to see what answers you get.

Best,

Hugh

Nice Guards Division Regimental Sergeant Majors rank badge worn on both sleeves of the number 2 dress on the upper arm. This particular example is, to my eye, the better version as they changed in the late 80's, early 90's to a brighter version which can be seen at post 20 on this GMIC thread

As to price, it's obviously subjective as how keen any individual collector is but I would say IMHO anywhere between £10 and £20.

Best regards Simon.

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

Ahh yes Andy, 

But if it were Coldstream it would be 6 years older........................it was six years after us you were formed I believe!

All good Blue Red Blue fun for those of you who are not of the Household Division!

Regards Simon.

'Second to none.'  But we're not bitter about it.  Oh, no!
