Title Derbyshire Yeomanry, 1940 pattern
Nationality British
Period c 1940-1957
Price £15.00

The Derbyshire Yeomanry was part of the Royal Armoured Corps in 1939 (Kipling & King 2342). This die-struck white metal example was introduced in 1940, replacing an earlier one in gilding metal.


The slider at the reverse has been broken, but otherwise the badge is in excellent condition, virtually as struck.

[From a vendor, rather than a buyer]

I'm delighted that you are happy with the badge and I hope you can sell it to someone who will value owning it.

I tried to sell it on eBay but they won't accept Nazi items. I then contacted several dealers via a Google search who mostly offered me £40-£50 after some haggling. Most of the other dealers tried to conceal its true value in their replies and also lacked manners which doesn't inspire confidence.

Ultimately it's about trust. I should think that most prospective sellers have done their own research and therefore know roughly what their item is worth. You were the only dealer who had the integrity to concede that my valuation was approximately correct and I respect your comment that you can't offer this as you need to make a profit. Your honest approach is greatly appreciated and I felt comfortable taking the risk in sending it to you.

Thank you for a smooth transaction
