This is the mid-sized gilding metal badge. Larger than the collar sized badge but about ½ the size of the large white metal badges.

Again these are the IY and Y version of the collar size cap badge but this time with the stag’s antlers ending at the inner rim of the circlet. The Y version is on a slider which differentiates it...

Hi Alex

One available now on a well respected dealers site appears to be a w/m rose collar with a gilding crown braized on top. Perhaps not...
