Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Guys!
It would seem that Information received by me, from several sources,in the past, may be in error here?
Though this is certainly a common enough reason for w/m varieties in many other regular Regts.(& also used by some NCO's, Regimental Police & the like,as well, there.)
In many of the Dominion countries(certainly here in NZ) this was the reason & our regulations usually tended to follow the UK fairly closely?
Is there a correct answer then ?
Still ,we are all here to learn ,so any better ( especially printed ?) info. would be be most appreciated.
With the 3 lugs,as said before ,this was ,& is still ,a common enough style with many commonwealth Cap badges.
Most of the older genuine Pouch badges that I've seen ,have had screw post fixings (including a KC Gilt Artillery one) Though admit I have recently seen both types on the more modern Horse Guards examples.
Looking forward to finding some answers here, that will enlarge our understanding of a very complex hobby!
Cheers !
Steve
