camelgreen44 Posted July 28, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2007 Found this one at a junk shop, mounted on a wooden plaque, with some shako type buttons. Any ideas here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themick Posted July 28, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 28, 2007 I had the same thing, complete with a shield shaped wooden plaque which I acquired oh, (and I really don't like to say this) over thirty years ago. Also on the four corners of the plaque were various round military insignia. These were put together by Bannerman's many years ago when they sold out their insignia supply. The pieces on them are good, or so I have understood. Nice pieces, though I always wondered if the paint on the shield was original. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When these Shakos went out of style these were sinmply "old surplus" parts. The pacques were part of Bannerman's innovative marketing to sell "old crap". Good find today!

camelgreen44 Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted July 28, 2007 Heres a pic of the plaque, a maybe clear shot of the badge, and the shako buttons. I'm really glad to here they were made out of actual surplus. Any idea as to when they were made up by bannerman, and as to value now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Jerry Posted January 21, 2021 Share #7 Posted January 21, 2021 I just found a couple of them too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted January 28, 2021 Share #8 Posted January 28, 2021 I'd have to see the back, but pretty sure the EGA on that is a Bannerman's restrike, not Bannerman's surplus It's also believed that the shields were painted by Bannermans, and never issued/worn in color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
