Royal Artillery Buttons LTD BHAM badge

[Markus Bodeux]

Amoung my new aquisations is this Royal Artillery badge, the size is 45 x 35mm.
I guess it is not gilded, more the natural colour of yellow brass.
The slider is marked with "BUTTONS LTD BHAM
I found a lot of threads about badges for the Royal Artillery, but i am still not shure which size was worn on which headdress ?
Is this one for OR and the beret ?

Sorry for so much questions .... and thanks in advance
Markus

Thanks Mark !

I hope my K&K volume 2 will arrive soon, so might be i will have less questions ....
I gues the wider versions ~ 65mm are for the visor caps, "Officer Service Dress".

Kind regards
Markus

I am Simon not Mark and the larger version badges were worn with Kings Crown and Queens Crown from 1902 to present in a variety of metals for all ranks in a Forage Cap.

Sorry Simon,

i am a little bit confused about the usernames .....
Thanks for your correction, i think i understand now ( after reading once more across some literature ) the diffent styles of visored caps used since 1902.
The "service cap" is the stiffened version for the service dress. Others were less stiff und used as trench or forage caps. And all ranks wore and wear - in different metal finish - the larger badge on those caps.

Thanks and regards
Markus
