Rgds, Thomas.
Thomas,

In Post 2 you said loops were introduced in 1902 and replaced in 1903 by long sliders.

That didnt happen.

Loops on RA cap badges remained well beyond the advent of long sliders on Infantry badges and past 1908 as evidenced on many TF laurel spray scroll badges, Oxford University OTC etc.

I do not know when sliders were officially introduced on RA cap badges, if at all, but the progression from loops to long slider to short slider was not a path that the RA cap badge followed.

regards
