dpast32 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Hello Gents, I'm seeking to determine the approximate manufacture date of what I believe to be a true, WW1 era Suffolk Regiment Other Ranks [ Enlisted Man ] Cap Badge ? From what little I've learned from a few U.K. based Dealers is that 'most' true, early WW1 production pieces were of Bi Metal construction, with 'blow holes' on their reverse ? If this is correct, my current example does appear to possess all those features. Apparently, circa mid - late 1916, the manufacturer's began running low on the Bi Metal material, & resorted to all brass construction, commonly referred to as 'War Emergency Type'. I'm hoping my example is a genuine early War piece, but would really like to either confirm or discount that fact. Enclosed are the front & back of my example, not anyone would please be so kind as to advise me on its relative period of manufacture, & if possible, it's originality, if at all relevant. THANK YOU Best regards, Dom P. / dpast32@aol.com Best regards, Dom P. / dpast32@aol.com
peter monahan Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) The late, great Mervyn Mitton would have gently reprimanded me for saying this, as he was a great booster of the GMIC, but have you considered asking this question on the British Badge Forum? You might have better luck there. Peter Edited March 31, 2020 by peter monahan
