Re: Royal Artillery I'd Webley Mk VI
Hi
Gunner 249394 J Miller was killed in action on 24/09/1918, while serving with "A" Battery-298th Brigade.
CWGC - Casualty Details
Also the Royal Artillery insignia appears to be the World War Two printed economy issue, though I could be wrong. $250 for the medal and badges is very optimistic in my opinion, they would be worth more like in the region of £30-£50 in the UK.
Thanks

Hi
If possible, could you please take some close-ups of the buttons?
Thanks

Re: Royal Artillery I'd Webley Mk VI
Thanks Cameron for that information. If the insignia is a World War issue, That may cast doubt on whether the metals and the gun are original together. Then again there's always the chance family put together a memory box at a later date.
Here's the back marks on the buttons to see what period they are. Ray
Here they are,
#1 J.R. Gaunt @ Son, London
#2 Smith @ Wright BHAM

Yeah im not sure if a Gunner would have been issued with a revolver, although there is a chance that it was a souvenir. Any way, as it stands as a lot I would say you got a good deal

Re: Royal Artillery I'd Webley Mk VI
Hi
Thank you for the extra pictures Ray, the first button appears to be a good Kings crown example, though how old I do not know. The second button is a Queens crown example so I pretty sure that it is post-1953.
There are more experienced collectors of badges on this forum so I could be well of the mark.
Thanks
Cameron

What is the metal?
Well it looks like the metals are not related to the gun and if that's the case I wouldn't be keeping them as I don't collect insignias/metals, Ray
