Default Kings Royal Rifle Corps, collar?

Hi before doing something stupid can I confirm what I have here? Is this a collar (looks like it!) or could it have been used in Headress??

This is the first time I have come across these and considering the amount of personnel going through the K.R.R.C. I would have thought it to be commonly found if a collar, which leads me to ask the question as to it being worn in Headress? Many thanks in advance Billy

Hi Billy, possibly for Field Service Cap ?? I don’t think the KRRC wore collars ?? Not 100% on that but hopefully others will confirm.

Hi Gerard, its what I'm hoping to confirm, extremely small though, about right for a collar and bouhht as such, so am looking forward for it to be put to baed as to what it is! Thanks for the help!

Here is another K.R.R.C. I think "Fantasy" but before fixing to a board like to hsve confirmation on? All the best billy

Hi Billy, here is my KRRC cap badge for comparison. I’d be leaning towards collars personally, though I’m not an expert on the issue.

The first badge is not a collar, its off a FS cap.

The second badge is a fake.

Key Fob I was thinking (have seen such) but wasn't quite sure if they might not have been taken off an original badge Die?

Regards original post - Result!! -cannot deny this is what I was hoping for thanks Simon! Minute though! When would this have been in use timeline-wise?

Has anybody of a photo? For it in use? Many thanks everyone, billy
