Malcolm, You could be right except that the QVC "Queens Lancers" cap badge has 4 lugs (mine also has an oblong brazing hole behind the "1" where it crosses the lance).
My KC "Queens Lancers" cap badge also doesn't have a gap and neither do the KC "Queens Lancers" collars. I don't have a KC "Queens Lancers" cap badge - but I am sure someone will.
Unless you can find signs of the previous 4 lugs..... The crown itself may be a replacement - although you would have to be extremely heavy handed to remove it without damaging the
lances/pennants etc.
Good luck, David
