The badge looks pretty good to me. It will be late in the period, probably post war but there is no reason why a bullion beret badge should not have been worn at that time. Don't expect precision construction of components in bullion as you might expect in a die struck or even die cast metal badge - the technique of making something 40mm x 38mm in wire is imprecise by its very nature. If you are enthusiastic about ASC/RASC/RCT then I should grab it as I doubt you will see another genuine one for a very long time. There is always a fear that a good one will be picked up by a faker and reproduced from its detail - only to flood the market with copies. Regards. David
