The numbers of plastic badges produced for infantry regiments was, obviously, much smaller than Corps units. An "average" would be in the region of between about the 35,000 - 78,000 for line Regt's.

That concludes my badges. I do have an RAF and Lez has an ATS, both featured on the forum. I also have some rank pips in plastic in brown and some crowns in both silver and black finishes.

Please feel free to add your badges here.

Cheers, Ade.

Stunning thread Ade, great to see all these examples and to get the facts and figures for production, where known.

My only plastic example is my father's from his service days in the Royal corps of signals.

Some more plastic:

The RAF is black, the two rank crowns are gold and the rest are brown.

Interesting thread Ade. I have my father's WW2 RAF side cap at home with plastic badge, I'll post some pics when I get home later.
