Purchase Cost of WW1 Cap Badges

[Veteran's Son]

Hello All:

I would like to purchase one each of the following WW1 Cap Badges please:

Royal Irish Fusiliers

Liverpool Regiment

Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers

Royal Highlanders of Canada, 13th Battalion

Also, as I know nothing about collecting these items, what would be the

most I should pay for these items?

Any advice/information would be most appreciated!

Mike

Hello Veteran's Son, you might find the British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum a good place to start for badges. There's likely an experienced collector for each of thise regiments there who can advise on what to look for to acquire an authentic WW1 badge for each regiment. You'll also find plenty of discussion about the fakes and copies that can be found from various sources, as well as advice on price ranges for the badges you want. Searching the forum may even turn up specific threads on some of these badges.

Thanks so much for your reply!

I want to collect these badges in memory of my grandfather and his two brothers!

My grandfather, Pte. J. HIGNEY, was wounded on August 19, 1915 with the 13th Bn, Royal Highanders of Canada.

I have read the War Diary Entry but cannot make out where he was at the time that he was wounded!
