Victorian R Warwicks Regt Collar Badge

A white metal collar badge for The Royal Warwickshire Regiment with two lug fastenings (east and west). Churchill 166.

Note: Churchill states this collar came into existence in 1894 and was superseded in 1896.

He states: "As it was directed that these badges were only to be brought into use, 'when present stocks are exhausted', and a further pattern was introduced in 1896, it is perhaps doubtful as to whether they were ever worn - if they were, then only for a very short period."

Early King's Regt Collar Badges

A scarce pair of brass collar badges for The King's Regiment (Liverpool), each with two lug fastenings (east and west). Churchill 215.

Note: Churchill dates these collars to c1882-1895/96.

He says these collars were very unpopular with the soldiers, who wanted a return of the white horse of Hanover, and apparently described these collars as "cow-pats".

Indeed, he further states that when the 1st battalion, at the time serving in Jamaica, received the new pattern of collar (with the return of the white horse) their 'cow-pats' were placed in a sack, rowed to the centre of Kingston harbour and heaved overboard.

A pair of officer's service dress, bronzed, collar badges for The Royal Berkshire Regiment, each with two lug fastenings (east and west). Churchill 1347.

Note: Churchill states these collars were the 'correct' version, worn after 1934. Apparently, the pattern with an additional scroll below the dragon, reading "Princess Charlotte of Wales's", was incorrect despite being worn c1902-34.
