Hi Pierce,

The Member, Lieutenant, and Commander grades are all breast badges; Knights Commander and above wear the neck Order.

Regards,
--Guy

Edit: Bratwurstdimsum, who owns (owned?) the original medals, identifies it -- in 2007 -- as "Member Fourth Class"

Interestingly, this Order is the "Full Member" Order; "Honorary Member" grades have a white strip through the center of the blue.

Many thanks Guy.

Infantry Assault Badge with original box?

Guys, I'm wondering if anyone can confirm the existence of an IAB's original box? NOT the packet of issue. I bought one the other day and decided to google the box but there are absolutely no other pictures of the same box i have. In fact no box at all, I'm a bit worried.

Gosh now I know why my ears were burning! Yes it was me and I feel a damn fool for selling it but times were tough . The one thing I regretted the most was that Victorian order, even at 4th class it was truly the most impressive award there. Imagine this Soldier being presented with two awards from two heads of state in his lifetime. Unbelievable.
