Hi All,
Here are two images of a new hat badge which has been seen in circulation. As can be seen from the images, the hat badge is Maker's Marked PLATATAC. Matching collars for this particular maker's marked set, have NOT yet been seen. However, the original (Unit Procured) items ARE known to have been made in a small number of hat and collar sets for wear on mess dress (and those were first seen seen approximately 18 months ago).
No... we don't think they are official issue. Nevertheless, the initial small run of (private purchase) items, now seems to have been remade. That (at least) implies a larger production run this time around?
Any thoughts?
