A year or so back I was told by a serving RM C/Sgt that designs for RM badges under the new King had already been approved that far back.
Just as interesting perhaps, will all units now be presented...

Has anyone got a clue as to what this might be.
As can be seen in comparison to a cap badge, it is too small for split Officer’s cap badge.
Fitting is similar to RMLI horn for the button boss and,...

I would add that the red & white one features what appears to be Kings Crowns, so that one might be earlier than the labelled ones?

Red is right?
Thanks Ritchie. If I am reading your post correctly, the one I have is therefore Naval because of the red circle.
It is large so it could well be the right badge for the RMLI medical unit?
