Original WSL crew pins & badges

[Robert Ferrara]

Hello all,
where can I see pictures of original pins ( white star ) and, above all, steward's badges ( White Star Line, Titanic and other ships ) ???
Also ... detailed descriptions, if pictures not available.
Thanks very much for your help !
Sincerely
Rob

Robert,
Reproductions of the Steward's Badge are sold by Harland and Wolff, and they have a website. I believe they also sell Officers' Buttons and Cap Badges, but if not, others do, and they are exact replicas, and inexpensive. I have some myself and they are of excellent quality.

All the best,
Kyrila

Kyrila,
thanks ...
do you know the web-site address ?
I know some reproductions of the Steward's badges
but they are not like the original ones ...
I found a picture of a cap WSL pin ( white star )on a Titanic memorabilia book but nothing about steward' s badges ...
Thanks again
Sincerely
Rob

Try the website for the Titanic Historical Society at titanic1.org. Then go into Titanic and White Star Lines Reproductions and click through several pages of merchandise until you find what you're looking for, because the cap badges and buttons are near the end. I'm still trying to find the other web addresses for you. I know I have a list somewhere. I think I may have even posted it on this board, but I don't remember which one. Stuck in the archives somewhere.
Good luck.

All the best,
Kyrila Scully

Kyrila,
thanks again
I checked there ... but I found the Officers cap badge only ...
On the Steward' s cap there was a metal white star ( brass )... I saw it on old WSL pictures
( "Titanic" books ).
I would like to find a source where I can know
exact and detailed informations about WSL insignia pins & badges, above all, regarding the Titanic era.
Thanks very much again
Sincerely
Rob
