Default Is this ID correct?
I'm trying to identify a badge the same as the one in this pic, which is shown as being from the "Indian Army Service Corps" (on the website I've linked to) ...but the initials don't seem to confirm that ID.

The STC were a forerunner of the Indian Army Service Corps being:
STC 1901 - 1923
IASC 1923 - 1935
RIASC 1935 - 1947 (independence)

The example you show is voided with a raised crown. There are also solid versions and examples with the crown lowered onto the top the garter.
Hope of some help.
Mark

The raised crown version is the pattern worn 1901-1911.
