Default Cast Reconnisance Corps badge

Hello all

I recently acquired a cast version of the WW2 era Reconnaissance Corps badge to go with some other examples I have.

I have seen many cast variations of WW1 era badges but this is the first cast Reconnaissance Corps badge I have seen.

Can anyone assist with advice as to its likely origin? Is it theatre made or a later copy?

Regards

Dennis

Dennis,

I have one very similar to that, identical treatment to the reverse and very similar shaping to the front. What makes this variety distinctive is the blocky lettering. Mine came from a 2nd Recce veteran and I’ve taken these to be Far East locally made, in a sizeable batch since there seem to be several so similar out there.

John
