Hi

I have never seen one like it before. I will be interested to hear others' thoughts.

Cheers

This is a well known WW1 RS variation. I have seen it in both black and brown oxidised finish. There is a famous photo of either Kingsford Smith, or another famous Australian aviator, wearing collar badges that are clearly this pattern.
