Is this a new style bullion badge or a makers variation??
1st old style? 2nd NEW style?

Its a new production style produced for the RAOC Association & RAOC Officers Club as old examples are getting harder to find or cost around £35 to re-produce! Made in Dark Blue, Commando Green & Maroon coloured backing to fill the demand for Officers & WO1's on Remembrance Parades (Majors & above wear Bowlers) and I have sold over 30 of them to date. Just had a request for some in Dark Blue cut square for AAC attached personnel.

Pictured with original 1980's example which differed between makers anyway for size & quality.

illustrated 'new style' in post #1 is in fact not one of mine!

PM me if you want the other colours

Mike, what I mean is the scrolls at the bottom of pic 2. There are only 2 scrolls where the other(1st) has three. Is this a change of pattern or makers variation?

Also looks like the last letter 'I' is missing.

Sorry, I was looking at the one to the left, the one with 2 scrolls is a very poor variation, and may even be a modern copy.

Will have to keep my eye open for one = purely as an example.

Mike, I will see you on Sunday at Outwood or Pudsey, I know where there is another one.

Jerry.
