Inter War Suffolk Regiment Sterling Silver Sports Medal.

An attractive 2nd battalion the Suffolk regiment sports medal, in tested sterling silver. One side shows a cross-country runner leading the pack, and on the other side the regimental emblem of the Suffolk regiment. What is interesting about this medal is, there is no where to engrave any winners details, so the winner has had his service number stamped below the castle, of the regiments emblem....  read more

1854-95 Indian General Service Medal to Cheshire Regiment.

A nice India General Service medal named in period script to 367 Private M. Martin Rochfort of the 22nd regiment, the Cheshire regiment.
A good medal but with a later replaced suspender. The rim is a little knocked about so the naming is a little hard to read, but it is all still there. This medal was mounted at something, probably on a watch chain, so there is remains of silver at the 1...  read more

Imperial German Baden Students or Veterans M1867 Schirmmütze.

An Imperial German 1867 Schirmmütze or visor cap, this one dates from around 1875 85. We can tell that by a number of things; it has a wide plate like top a deep Pagri and a very small visor or peek. This is a very unusual cap as it has the colours of the imperial German flag as its Pagri. This is the only one of this kind I have ever had, one book says it was worn by Military students,...  read more

WW1 German M1898/05 (Butcher) Bayonet by Simson & Co.

The iconic German bayonet used on the 1898 German Mauser Carbines and Rifles and manufactured from the period of 1905 to about 1918. This is a pretty much untouched example, and it still retains all its original patination. It is in excellent condition but is was issued and used so there is signs of use and wear.

Royal Berkshire regiment Cap Badge.

Gilt brass cap badge of the Princess Charlotte of Wales Royal Berkshire regiment. This badge was used for a long time, until 1959 when it was merged with the Wiltshire regiment. I would think it probably dates from the either pre WW2 or post WW2 when brass badges were gilded. It is in wonderful condition still showing a lot of its original gilt finish.
