A superb, completely unissued, officers RE cap badge in a darkened bronze finish, with the slider to the rear stamped FIRMIN LONDON this most attractive cap badge was found amongst war-time stock of Oswald Bailey a former military outfitters here in the South, and is complete with its original price tag of 4/6d (or 22.5 pence!) At war's end in May 1945 the owner's of Oswald Bailey immediately started buying up the army's now surplus stock of tents, canvas rolls, mess-tins & outdoor clothing and selling to the general public. This was immediately snapped up by a population deprived by war, so leading to Oswald Bailey later becoming a famous High Street camping & outdoor clothing retail company. Thanks for looking..!
