Hello Gordon,

How's it going ? I hope this finds you well ?

The previously mentioned black and gold ( Officers' cap badge ) and the anodised gold ( soldiers beret ), both in my album, face the opposite way as you know and so does the Gurkha Officers' pouch badge, which is silver.

There are pairs of facing collars to the Band of The Hussars and Light Dragoons, described in my new modern badge bible ( British Army Badges ), by Lt. Colonel Robin Hodges as " gilt " collar badges, 3 x 3.5 cms ???

Coincidentally, I have the bands' cap badge and I can't find the correct collars, so it's a small world in that respect.........

I have to ask if the fact that they are silver anodised, could be attributed to a manufacturers error ?

That's all I can offer, sorry if it doesn't help !

All the best.

Dave.

PS Both my cap badges are on lugs ??

DC.
