From the 50/60's to present date it is unlikely that cadet units whether public school or ACF have had any huge quantity of uniforms upon which collar badges would have been worn?

I would be tempted to do more research before tagging this as a collar badge rather than a badge introduced for wear in the beret in place of a boring Star thingy with a sandcastle stuck to it!

A very quick top of the head here, Tonbridge school wore anodised collars ,a similar badge to the cap badge. Apart from that ,I cant think of one.
