Default Gurkha Engineers - 1950's

I'm sure I've read somewhere that when the Gurkha Engineers first became a separate Corps within the Brigade of Gurkhas - the first officers cap badges were silver and had to be privately purchased from Gerrard's and Co in London. ( Any conformation on this would be welcome ) - but really pleased to have picked this up - marked and silver and stamped with the mark of Gerrards. So hopefully an example of one of the earliest cap badges to the Corps. Tim
