Two different patterns of collar badges, when did they change from WM?

Hi, as far as I know, the brass collar was a restrike, not original. Regards Andrew

I can concur with Andrew. Brass was a restrike

Thanks guys, not a restrike as they are two different dies so a forgery?
Ron.

In my book a restrike or a forgery are both fakes.:D Have a great weekend.

Thanks all looking to obtain a matching wm collar.
Ron.

Found a wm title, now looking for a match.

Added a few pieces to this card.
Can someone tell me what other badges were worn by the CSARC?

They continued to wear the CSARV hat and collars. Only the shoulder title changed.

There are also CSARV / CSARC officers badges in hallmarked silver. Only ever seen one set though. Collars were same as white metal ones but cap badge was different.

Thanks Milmed, do you know what buttons they wore?
Ron.

Hi Ron,
Buttons were white metal with crowned winged wheel. No title or scroll.

Thanks Steven will be on the lookout for one of those.

Hi Ron,
Very nice find and you dont need anouther. This is the Officers Cap badge. It was different to the regular white metal cap badge.

Officers collars were same as regular collars, but in hallmarked silver.
