Hello Mike
I have just seen a sample of the new Royal Lancers Badge, unfortunately I do not as yet have an image I can post. It is though very much as you have suggested.
I would describe it like, the 9/12L embroidered beret badge, with the Crown removed, and a white-metal 'Motto' replacing the POW's plumes in the centre. The scroll has been removed from the 'Motto', and the 'OR GLORY' is embroidered below it replacing the 'IX - XII'. Fairly simple and actually looks quite good.
I understand there is a high probability that this is what will be worn, a member of the QRL stated '95% certain'
Not sure of badge size, as I have no dimensions as yet, and as I understand matters there is no further information on other insignia for the new regiment.
I hope that is of interest to all you cavalry collectors, I will post more in due course.
