Thank you very much for that explanation John, the badge I have illustrated above came with the medals of a RM Bandmaster WWI period.
I also have a photo of him with his Band on HMS Commonweath, I think circa 1907 & the cap badge he (& also the band members) is wearing does not appear to have a lyre above the globe at all. I will try to post a close up shot of it.
Another question I have for you concerns the RM Bandmaster badges you illustrated in a prior thread in this section - you state they are for WO2.
I thought Bandmaster 1st class were ranked as WO1's. What type of badge would a WO1 Bandmaster have worn??
