RA Officers ? Busby badge
Hi All,
Just trying to find out a bit more information on this badge to correctly label up its description. A Victorian RA busby badge. I believe it to be Officers. Base metal is brass then a seam where it goes to WM ? or sliver plate ? Then a SP centre scroll/motif ? And can anyone tell me the aprox period worn. Many thanks in advance, Mark

I have always admired these plume sockets but have never been able to find out whether all the six varieties that I have were worn in Australia by the colonies of NSW or Victoria. Also worn in New Zealand.
There are WM and gilt badges with the royal cypher both officer and OR. My question is: do gilt badges exist (like the ones scanned) with the gun in the centre? Never seen one. Last edited by kingsley; 05-01-22 at 08:33 AM.
