Hi,

 

can you please give your opinions on this cap badge, the only WW2 WO cap badges that I have seen are hollow back, stamped cable and marked with the maker's name, this is solid, soldered wire no maker's name....... so what era do you think?

 

cheers, John

I like it! I have a matching officer's hat device with the solid back and separately applied lines. Really cool...definitely WW2 time period.

Hi,

most say that a CPO cap badge with applied wire would be WW1 or at least pre-WW2, I was thinking along those lines with this badge and thought 1920s/30s?

I have a few left facing (post-1941) officers hat devices with separately applied line. I would LOVE to own a pre-1941 device with separately applied line, but alas...I've not found one.

 

Your WO device could be pre-WW2, but there's nothing that I can discern on it that would indicate it dating from the 20s vice from the 40s.

That's great, John!

 

I had taken this photo a while back and forgotten to post it. This is the reverse of the device in my collection I was talking about...it's a beautiful piece.
