I have a RAOC 1918 Pattern Cap Badge with Slider which has been bronzed, and I am informed that the WWI & WWII Officers Shops (ran by Ordnance) had a range of regimental badges bronzed for Field Commissioned Officers and that Ordnance & Service Corps Workshops did them as well, possibly for the Officers of their own Corps as well as for the Officers Shop and others? This was also done in India & the Far East because supply times for such items were long.
