It is rather a strange item. The sew on small badge was for use on the WRAF Stewardess style hat which came into use in the late 1950s early 1960s. This could have been a trial piece but the time period was way past when KC badges would have been worn or considered. The QC version has had other uses such as a band collar for tropical use in Malaya and, the brass version, for use with the 1930s Patrol Jacket. However I have seen no evidence that such a badge with a KC was ever used. If it had been used for other purposes then I would have expected it to have had the standard lugs.
