Default IV Hussars cap or collar?
Could someone please help. I bought this OSD badge but I'm unsure if it is a cap badge or collar. It is the same size as a cap badge (42mm) but has lugs. All the collar badges I have seen to the regiment are all smaller.

Mant thanks
fred

I would saw collar as cap badges were normally bladed. Whilst ORs' collars were smaller, many officers' Service Dress badges were worn in full size.

Default Cap/Collar
Hi fred,

I agree with Alan " cap badges were normally bladed".

However I have seen Examples where the blades have been replaced with lugs

I have one or two (certainly a Kings Crown Int. Corps one) where blades have been replaced by a slider.
