Farkas Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hi Gents pair of badges.... not sure of the significance of the 110 - maybe member own number. Surprised even then if it's on back of a cap badge(?) or collar ? Little plate numbered impressed with 110 at the top... Hope you like tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldstream Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Tony, Nice couple of badges you have shown there. The smaller of the two is quite common and I normally see them with a coloured enamel like finish. ( have one somewhere but can't lay my hands on it) The second badge would appear to me to be a beret badge for the Association judging by the lugs on the reverse. Not sure on the number 110, perhaps an ex Gunner may be able to enlighten us. All the best Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Simon thanks for looking... it is an 'odd one' isn't it... a while ago a Vet forum posted pics and it wasn't something they'd seen. The romantic thought is member number 110.... In your experience do you think that information is available still? tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldstream Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Tony Difficult to say. Are the numbers 110 impressed or raised? I wouldn't have thought a badge with such a potentially small circulation would have individual number plaques produced and added but more likely a stamping system in use if the number refers to an individual. Could of course just be a Manufacturers badge model number or something similar. Does anyone know if this badge appears in Kipling and Kings badge book? I don't have a copy I'm afraid.

coldstream Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Thanks Tony, could very well relate to an individual then. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
