Gilded King's Crown cap badge but what is it ?
I have not been able to find this one anywhere so I would appreciate if anyone is able to identify it. It is a very nice gilded badge made by Dowler. Appears to be a stylised MR in the centre.

Also the black collar patch is not Waffen SS, it is NSKK. Pre 1939 it would have been the rank of NSKK-Mann, post 1939 it was NSKK-Sturmmann.

Sharing these beauties. They were worn by Mary de Bunsen and came in a family group along with some other badges and her father's medals.

They are original and I believe they were used until the early 1950s. Do not pay more than about £4 or £5 per pair at most since they are still readily available.
