mcfc1923 Posted 31 March , 2010 Share Posted 31 March , 2010 with regards to buying an RGA badge, should it have the mesh behind the wheel and should the wheel be able to spin many thanks jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George-Alexander Posted 31 March , 2010 Share Posted 31 March , 2010 The RGA badge was the same as the RFA badge and common. There were several versions: Solid centre c.1917. Fretted wheel. Moving wheel - may have been a canteen purchase rather than issued. Any of these would do for the RGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphjd Posted 1 April , 2010 Share Posted 1 April , 2010 Jim. Mine are not for sale. If you look at CLANFIELD MILITARIA (Lew Shotton) you will find he has one RA Kings Crown Bz (bronze)cap badge for £5, good deal and a genuine bloke, have bought many badges off him over the years.
