That’s intriguing, Kingsley, as only Victoria and Elizabeth II used the St Edwards’s Crown in recent times, and for the latter’s reign, the cap badge of the RAchD, the design had completely changed. That new badge was/is still produced in both OSD black and a/a silver gilt. Your badge is marked with an Australian maker, I do not know if Australian forces have perhaps retained the WW1 style badge and used it in accordance with their own regulations. My comments above relate to badges with King’s (Tudor) crown at a time when dress regulations we’re largely aligned.
