Hello Chimo, The Chaplains were/are a unique service in the Armed Forces; every member is an officer. Officers had far greater latitude in dress regs (or ignoring dress regs) than other ranks. And, officers' were required to purchase most of their insignia in the time period of the king's crown badges. It is quite possible that a Chaplain would purchase a full dress badge. Of note, some Chaplain isnignia was purchased from Gaunt and based on the imperial pattern. Your being clearly marked Scully is interesting.
Could you post an image of the obverse?
