Tank Badges

British Commemorative medal from 1919. It's made out of aluminum or similar soft metal and therefore is covered in tiny scratches. Features a Mk V tank on one side and profiles of King George and Queen Mary

US domed collar disk 1926-1937

Modern day remembrance lapel pin

UK silver sweetheart brooch from the WW2 era.

New Zealand armoured corps officer collar badge made out of two metals by J.R. Gaunt in London. WW2 era.

Australian armoured Corps hat/cap badge briefly used in the 1930's. PARATUS means READY in Latin.

Here are the hat and collar badge next to each other for comparison.

British WW1-era sweetheart brooch made of brass or copper and plated in some white metal. If you scroll down you will see this exact tank design used on various brooches/pins. It was sold to me with the Jebuz medallion but it is not permanently attached.

British WW1-period sterling silver sweetheart brooch. Glass enamel is slightly damaged on this guy...

Very neat tiny patriotic pin with glass enamel. Probably silver- or other white metal plated. I would guess it is pre-WW2.

US sweetheart brooch/broach. Probably WW2 period.

Yet another US collar disk from around WW2 period. According to the seller this one was made in Germany. It’s stamped out of a solid chunk of 3.2 mm (1/8″) brass and weighs a ton.

US collar disk. WW2 era or around. Maybe a modern day replica.

Pretty cool silver sweetheart brooch from WWI era depicting a Mk. I tank with those silly wheels in the back.

Australian tank regiment badge from WW2 era and possibly until 1953.

Manufactured by Swann & Hudson in Frankston, Australia.

An interesting US Tank (Infantry) badge. What’s special about it is that the tank is traveling from left to right. Almost all other examples show the tank moving from right to left.

It is also much larger than a similar badge in my collection. The clasp doesn’t look very reliable for military purposes.

British association badge - Royal Tank regiment - Old Comrades Association. Post 1953 judgung by the Queen’s Crown on top. Only noticed when I was cleaning the photo that the red enamel shades are different. I believe that the color around OCA is supposed to be brown to represent the colors of the Royal Tank Regiment.

No marks on the back.

A very cool British association badge. Don’t know the time period but I suspect it’s post WWI. The enamel is chipped in some spots but that only adds this badge more street cred. Green, Red, and Brown are the colors of the Royal Tank Regiment.

The is some Regd. number and manufacturer mark, TRATTORINI BRADFORD on the back.
