Dogsbody Posted February 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 23, 2020 Hi everyone, these two items came in a small lot with two Australian collar badges but I'm totally clueless as to what they are. I don't know if there is any connection to the collar badges. Hopefully some of you can identify both items. All opinions will be appreciated. These are the collar badges that were in the same lot.

Dogsbody Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted February 23, 2020 And now for the mysterious bit. The item with the pin has two round pieces (one plastic and one fabric) inserted in the cavity at the back. Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratasfan Posted February 23, 2020 Share #3 Posted February 23, 2020 How very interesting! wish I knew something about Aussie stuff. That three-piece thing is very intriguing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted February 24, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 24, 2020 Has to have some connection to this button, Victorian Permanent Artillery. It is a 1893-1903 button, so perhaps the one with the Kings Crown you have is a later WWI one?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted February 24, 2020 Share #6 Posted February 24, 2020 After Federation, State Volunteer and MilitiaArtillery Forces were designated 'Australian FieldArtillery and Australian Garrison Artillery'. On 1July 1902, the Permanent Artillery wasdesignated the 'Royal Australian ArtilleryRegiment'. Permanent Force Artillery wasredesignated 'Royal Australian Garrison Artillery’and ‘Royal Australian Field Artillery' on 25 April1911. Yep, Artillery, they just used this basic design for the Royal Australian Artillery after 1902-1911, adding the Kings Crown. The items you have seem to be Sweetheart items.

mikie Posted February 27, 2020 Share #9 Posted February 27, 2020 My wild guess is some kind of trench art? Trench art is cool. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
