Hi all,

as the originator of this post it's good to see bits and pieces still coming to light on the subject.

Cheers,

David ;)

Hello all,

A few questions for you, is this a good one? are they scarce? lastly was this badge issued post WW1, if so to what date.

Thanks

Mike

Mike,

I like your badge, it looks good to me. I especially like "sweetheart" badges ie brooched. I think its a good sign. Who would fake a badge, cut of slider and then brooch a copy / restrike? Not cost effective and adds nothing to the value.

Regards

TT

PS I am in the slider camp on these badges. Never seen a lugged one I like.

I believe they were issued till 1922?

About £15 to £20?

I agree with TT about the lugs, they just don't feel right.

I have re looked at mine again...no voids in the crown. Is this just a variation?

Is there a full stop after the JR Gaunt, before the London? If so, I'm afraid it's a dud.

Gents I have just come across this discussion, and don't know if you ever found a definitve answer, but this might help. The original Tank Corps badges were issued with the ' slider ' to be worn in the Forage cap, with the adoption of the Beret in 1924 the badge was issued with ' Lugs ', hope this helps.

Yes correct all Tank Corps WW1 pattern badges should be on a slider, all those with loops are copies.
