Hi Guys,
Help wanted on this one. Bought with a selection of restrikes so I won't be dissapointed if it's a wrong 'un.
Thought i better check as I couldn't find a R.N.A.S Armoured car with officer style blades on the Forum.
Once more your opinions are appreciated on this collar/ cap badge.
Many Thanks

First and foremost - this is not an officers' pattern cap badge. I will leave the rest to those who are to follow. David

There are many previous discussions on this badge, and David is certainly right in saying this is not an officers cap, but an O/R collar. This is backed by abundant photographic evidence.

As far as officers collars are concerned, they supposedly wore small single armoured cars in bronze, but I have never seen photo's of these in situ.
Cheers, Neil
