Thanks for the input ,so far.........
am looking for a fairly 'early' pattern of this badge ,to put with my RND badges here.
Am told this came from the UK ,some time ago, with a large batch/bundle of early period items up to, & including, the 1930's.
So am looking to verify the approx period ,more exactly, as being an 'acceptable' & 'representative' pattern only, for the early WW1 period ??
These were worn ,as the 'standard' type of badge on the Army style Service Cap(with & without the black hat band), by RND Officers, especially prior to 1916ish.
Have pics of various period patterns, in use, of similar styles, but not one that matches with this one, as yet !
Cheers !
Steve
