Hi
Well, actually that's not quite true. The 14H and 20H did of course amalgamate in 1922 but were in fact a composite Regiment until 1929.
In c.1926 the two 14H Squadrons B & C unofficially reintroduced a Prussian Eagle Cap Badge in gm. with FR on its breast.
In 1929 the 1st pattern 14/20H was introduced which was effectively the 1919 pattern with 14/20th Hussars on the scroll in stead of 14th Hussars. I suspect this was not well received, but as you've said in 1931 the 2nd pattern for the 14/20H was issued, an eagle(Hawk)Cap Badge gm. but with no FR on its breast.
I hope that's of help/interest.
