Hi Pete - Thats a new one on me. Never seen another.
Some interest in the Royal Navy diving branch SW badges - again quite rare. The helmet design is the same as all the other RN diving branch badges. Royal Engineers certainly have SW badges , the helmet design is slightly different to RN badges.
Many thanks,
Steve.
