Good Evening

Brought these badges on auction the other day. I don't think anyone saw them as I got them at the unbelievably expensive price of R1...

The officers silver enameled badge is hallmarked silver JR Gaunt and Sons Birmingham 1915. I think it's for full/ceremonial dress uniform and the other brass version for normal dress. Can't believe how perfect the enamel still is. No cracks or missing paint.

Anyone able to shed some light on the King Edward's Own 6th Cavalry? I also see they have another cap badge for this period, can someone explain the difference? I'll include a picture of that one for comparison if needed.

Regards,

Chris
