I know that this is still a very controversial subject and I agree that all badges I have seen to date appear to be "fantasy badges" but the one I have is different since it has loops instead of blades and looks genuine. I would like to know if anyone has found a similar one with loops. My badge was acquired in 1988 for nothing more than the loan of a book.

I know that years ago I had seen RNMBR cloth badges in a stock book (Royal William Yard Devonport) that never went into production, or at least I have never seen them with any dealer, an anchor with MBR being one example. B above the stock with M - R to the left and right of the stock.

I have other badges in my collection (not RNMBR) which are not listed but are shown being worn in a photograph. Maybe !!!!! a photograph will turn up.

As an aside an elderly RNMBR person I contacted, about 1988, could not remember the badge.

My badge attached.
