Many thanks for your reply. Do you think that AFO 2550 of 1955 is incorrect then? I have attached a cutting from the AFO which gives the old & new VOCAB numbers for all the Bandmaster badges which does imply that a red on blue one was worn but I have also attached a cutting from Dress Regs of December 1955 which would tend to back up your statement as it does not mention a red on blue, just metal, gold on blue, khaki and khaki drill. I have also attached pictures of the different versions, fortunately with VOCAB numbers still attached. If you look at the back of the gold on blue badge you will see that the VOCAB appears to be 32923 which is the one allocated to the red on blue version in AFO 2550. In the AFO the gold on blue should be 31923.
