Leeds Rifles Officers Collar badges
 
Does anybody know what the Officers collar badges are like ? I cant find any reference to any anywhere. Im looking for what was worn post war up until the present day or nearest.

I have a pair of anodised ORs collars(PoW feather on an LI bugle ) but havent seen similar in any other metals.

Finally,does anybody know when the cloth title changed from black on rifle green to gold on rifle green ?

I managed to find 2 images of some ,so more on the wants list.
1st image was a pair sold as part of an auction lot.
2nd was of a pair being worn dated 1965. Strangely , they were being worn with No2 dress.

Mike,
There is a picture in the Territorial Battalions by Ray Westlake showing HM The Queen inspecting the Leeds Rifles in October 1965. Two officers in the picture are wearing collar badges in Service Dress. This is possibly the same image you have already found?
