Cap Badges - Page 4

I take full responsibility for all the variances in my postings - thus, the confusion created from such...

As it has been some time now, significant accumulation of specimens on my part, and further discussion with others who specialize in these little guys has yielded further information, and other variances to "contrer" what has been "published" - of course, much is still conjecture, and will be for a long time - IMO.

I see the interest is truly there, so let me know, and I would be more than happy to composite something that will make some kind of generalisation from what I have at my disposal at this time...

There is definitely interest. I think a document (with version numbers) which shows even current conjecture would go a long way. Showing detailed photos, front and back with annotation as to what the relevant 'features' are would be a popular document. This is particularly true for cap badges which did not change significantly from wartime to post war. versions like the two piece stars are pretty clear, but these other sizes such as the 32mm (34mm?) which were made for many years can be confusing without having examples right in front of you I suspect.

I'd be happy to assist in some document creation (PDF) and version number tracking.

A very nice and informative thread! Can someone help me with these? What type and date are they?

These two have around 31/32 mm each from point to point:

This one got about 34 mm.
