WWII British Economy Cap Badges
These are two British WWII economy cap badges, one for the Royal Corps of Signals and the other for the Army Service Corps. These badges were manufactured from plastic during the war years as a cost-saving measure, replacing the more traditional brass or white metal versions. They represent a fascinating piece of wartime history and are indicative of the resourcefulness employed during the conflict.
Condition and Collectibility
Both badges are in good condition for their age, displaying the expected wear and tear consistent with being vintage military items. While not pristine, they retain their shape and detail well, making them desirable for collectors of British military insignia. These economy badges are increasingly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and relative scarcity compared to their metal counterparts.
