RAF LAC badges to sort out.

[Sock Monkey VC]

OK, I will be selling these, for those of you to whom that matters. Anyway, I don't know specifics about these all that well for instance, why a lozenge shape when most are cut out? Are the bulbous blue ones on top something different? I think the green bordered one is RC Army Cadets. Something makes me think I heard that Britain made some bevo style titles at one time. This one is clearly embroidered on tape and cut to length.

Thanks for any help.

The only one I would consider to be RAF is the bottom one. The rest may be cadets or something else but I don't think they are regular RAF.
Cheers,

OK, I think the two toned blue ones are fairly consistent with RCAF stuff. It's the 3 on the top I don't recognize. I did see that bottom one on some photos of RAF uniforms online.

Three on top are Australian (I believe) bottom looks to be for a Greatcoat it should have that thick Serge material feel to it, the other lighter ones I wasn’t sure off till you mentioned RCAF and this sounds right, all the best - “avoid Moths” Sock-Monkey!

Moths and carpet beetles.

What a great resource Cavalryman. Thanks. I looked at the Aus. props and didn't see anything that conformed perfectly to the chubby ones I have but this isn't a hobby of Perfection, is it? There's often leeway. I'll keep looking through those and no doubt I'll find something that I haven't yet ID'ed.

Found this rectangular one. Embroidered on tape and sides folded under. It's black, not a hint of blue.

Also, in response to Billy, the tombstone shaped one is pretty much average in weight; wool melton with a black sack cloth backing on it.
