Almond slice Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Don’t know if I’ve posted this in the right place but wondered if anyone can shed any light on the age of the badge on the right ? The one on the left is from the sixties but I believe the other is older but cannot find any information about it. They were gifted to me many years ago from a friend who’s father was a game keeper around that time and they belonged to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushandpull Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Not sure without researching, but I believe the GCT was only formed at the end of the sixties, from what was previously the ICI funded station at Fordingbridge, so maybe not that much age difference. No doubt there badge collectors who know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almond slice Posted January 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Thank you for the input. I asked the question on another forum and a member said pretty much the same about the age not being that much different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Could it simply be that the plain one, being the first issue, didn't stand out on clothing it was pinned to, and it evolved into the enameled version which does stand out ?

Pushandpull Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 I wonder if the plain one was a "discrete" option. The old BDS Stalker's Certificate badge was finished like this and the current DSC1 is similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
