Default RNY or Provost fake?
Another badge I have had about for awhile, but not sure of. It is small, 1 inch in height. Thanks,

CB

The RDC provost staff corps badges are usually flat backed and thicker than this, which is why I am doubtful about it.

Definitely not NY.

It could be Provosts, size of the corps and length of GvR’s reign encompassing a world war, manufacturers variations are to be expected.

A curious badge with all that pitting front and back.

Similar to my one here, which is probably Provost.
