I will enclose this one in my collection as "..perhaps worn on a cap... " but a similar badge with blades (or slider ?) is now on my wish list.

Mark - the two badges in upper row are real beautys, that is the proceeding version with slim cypher and black enameled medaillon background for officers ?
Also on my wishlist ....

Thanks for all explanations,
kind regards
Markus

The change to smaller OSD collar badges came in 1919 with the introduction of the RASC GvR cypher badges.
