Queens rown REME - brown coloured

2 Attachment(s)

Gents, has anyone any knowledge of this REME cap badge? Its of 'new metal' type construction, but the colour appears to be a kind of brown/bronze wash - similar to the Gibraltar Regiment colour.

Any info greatly received. No makers mark as expected post 2012.

I have this version in black. Maker marked J R GAUNT B’HAM on slider and back of badge definitely not painted and appears to be a factory black finish on raw aluminium.

Thanks Tim, not seen that one before. This is definately factory made 'brown' . . . another mystery . . .

Worn by REME in the Commando Logistic Regiment on the Commando Green Beret

Bronzed Badges can be found for RA, RE, RLC, REME, AGC & RAF to match the Royal Marine badge.

I have an older RAOC pre 1993 example.
