Muerrisch Posted 3 May , 2009 Share Posted 3 May , 2009 I have nearly finished a massive project to tabulate every one of the above from c. 1850 to 1945, using Clothing Regs, Royal Warrants, KR/QR, PVCN, and the ledgers of the Royal Army Clothing Department. The tabulation will list EVERY official badge, date introduced, material, and changes thereto, together with end date. It will take the form of a booklet. Not too sure about illustrations, as it does not necessarily depend on them Question is, who would buy this reference for about £10 p&p UK included? It takes over where Edwards and Langley ends, more or less Please either reply here, or PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Nixon Posted 7 May , 2009 Share Posted 7 May , 2009 Profusely illustrated I trust. Yes please; living in India but will provide UK postal address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auchonvillerssomme Posted 7 May , 2009 Share Posted 7 May , 2009 Can I have one of the rarer non-autographed ones please? Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 7 May , 2009 Author Share Posted 7 May , 2009 Profusely illustrated I trust. Yes please; living in India but will provide UK postal address. Illustrations are a problem, actually. The original 'Edwards and Langley' was profusely illustrated and I have not got much in the way of new material. They would do two things on the downside: delay production substantially, and drive up costs. I am still chewing this matter over, and my mind is far from made up.

Personally speaking, and if it were an option, I'd prefer to wait a bit longer and pay a bit more for the profusely illustrated version, autographed or not.

Muerrisch Posted 8 May , 2009 Author Share Posted 8 May , 2009 OK folks, you win ..... As a result of many representations on this and other fora, I have come to believe that the badges should, where possible, be illustrated. However, the production cost will inevitably be driven up, as better paper and process will need to be used. Will members absorb another quid or two for an illustrated version, please?

green_acorn Posted 8 May , 2009 Share Posted 8 May , 2009 Grumpy, Would you consider by chance including armelts/brassards? They are in many ways a war expedient extension of the trade and skills badges. With illustrations I would also like a copy signed by your good self.

Kindest, Hendo There is, of course, an excellent armband/ brassard source on this forum. I am loth to add to the current project except perhaps to have an appendix listing descriptions ..... my badge booklet will have to be in greyscale or it gets prohibitive, and the essence of an armlet is colour. Also, I suspect that many Great War armlet types have disappeared without physical trace. I would buy a booklet on armbands if someone produced it!
