South African Constabulary

Hi everyone
I'm looking information about this badge.
It's an insignia of the South African Constabulary (Baden-Powell's era 1900-1909). I don't sure if it's was for uniformity (with the uniform or hat) or for civil use.
Thanks in advance

An interesting and likely unique badge, choice of crown is perhaps a little curious? Are you able to show the complete group photo at all, please?

It contains a page specifically about Sergeant G. Wright.

SAC's badge

Thank you for reply
The picture isn't my. I found it on the forum, looking for information about this badge. I saw the photo of the SAC and I thought that this badge could be a hat's badge, I'm not sure. Has anyone seen it before? Can you help me? o Just a badge of a SAC that was proud to be one?
Again thanks.

SAC's Badge

"Be Prepared", can this be an optional hat badge? I have seen photographs of SACs with other hat insignia, in addition to the official one.
A Troop Sergeant Major or Q.M.S badge? I say it for the crown.

Can be it a badge for use without an uniform?

PD: this is the enlarged photo.

It is just a Victorian crown, perfectly normal, I would think it was made to order by one of the Rand jewellers.
