It would be helpful if XXMinden told us where his information came from and showed us some badges or photos to back up his statement above.

The question is answered.

Regimentals sold a Gilding Metal eaxample today on loops, doubtless the hitherto unseen single owl cap badge that we have been awaiting for years.

Unfortunately sold before I could snag it but worth recording here.

The collection being sold has some gems in it but the prices are quite silly.

It may well be a long time before another one of these is seen: the relatively small size of the unit, the short period that is was worn, the lack of unit title on the badge and the fact that it is a relatively dull design means there cannot be many left.

Quite a nondescript badge too. Can easily imagine it being sold on eBay as ‘owl badge’ by someone without the knowledge. Makes it all the more difficult to track such badges down even when they are listed that once in a blue moon.
