RASC sand cast
Gents, I've had this peculiar RASC cap badge for many years. Is it just a peculiar copy/fake? Or is it something more interesting like a theatre made sand cast badge? The slider is unusual as it has an arrow head cut at the tip.
Any opinions greatly appreciated. Regards all. Last edited by bess55; 26-03-21 at 06:40 AM.

I'd heard that these were made in the "soukh" to make up for supplies that couldn't be easily obtained but also they were cheaper than paying the "kit deficiency" for a lost badge that had been traded with someone for a badge you wanted.
See? There were collectors way back then!

GVIR RASC cap badge
For reference a GVIR RASC cap badge, formerly belonging to my late uncle who joined the RASC before transferring to the CMP, made in India and stamped "Industrial FV. Aligarh".
All the best Graham
