Headress Badges of the British Army Volume 1 Kipling & King

Second revised Edition, 1978. Muller publishers, no dust cover. A good clean copy, only damage of note is the book has split from ends boards at the very back (see photo), a slight bump to bottom edge of back cover and original owner's name and shop sticker to front). I consider the photos in the 1970 copies are much better than found in subsequent reprints. A good working copy for the serious badge collector.

This volume covers period c1800 to the end of the Great War (there is a smaller second volume which covers post WW1). A profusely illustrated record of badges worn on every type of head-dress from the mitre cap to the Shako to the Field Service cap, with detailed comments. Changes in regimental title and dates of amalgamations given. Starts in the year 1800. Many auctioneers and dealers (including myself) refer to Kipling and King numbers for identification purposes.

Please note we will only post a UK Mainland address on account of the weight and size unless otherwise agreed first by email.
