The anodised silver and gold RF badges, authorised c1956 and probably not worn regulars but by the 8th (TA) Bn? Apparently there was also an anod al silver and gold RF cap badge too.
MikeH has knowledge of these badges.
The R Warks white metal and / or silver anodised collar badge was worn (certainly the one facing to the viewers right) by RRF on the left cuff (so facing "backwards") by the antelope handlers. I don't know whether that was the case in all battalions of RRF.
In the early 70's a 1RRF NCO gave me his shoulder titles from his 1RNF Fusilier Brigade days in the 1960's. They were the small size gilding metal ones.
Prior to adoption of the anod al Fus Bde badge in the beret LF wore a cloth badge, white grenade and "LF" embroidered on a red vertical rectangle.
