Unknown Edwardian bullion cap/rank badge?
Hello,
Here is a lovely badge consisting of a King's Crown above the intertwined letters of RS or even RI. Could be off a cap or could be worn as part of a WO's rank badge or even an NCO's badge. Any ideas welcomed. regards

Carl,
The Royal Yatch was crewed by the RN & RM and wore the badges of those two services. I dont know why they would wear this badge. The only distinctive badges I am aware of for the RY crew are the ROYAL YATCH shoulder titles below crown. Can you tell me more please, a source or photos. regards

THE `royal yacht squadron was part of the navy at one point deffo in ww1 , this tho i have found to be RYS
THE only other that used RY was railway battalion as seen oin this list http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/d...cards-unit.pdf not also that RYS was still in the list here

Appreciate the input but I am not convinced its RY, and believe that its RS.

Why is the crown not centered over the letters? It's off to the left.
