Hello, I recently brought this Sealed Pattern Card as I had not seen this type before. I have checked Edwards & Langley but with no joy.
Can you give me any information about this other then what is on the card please?

I think intended to be worn as a cap badge backing by WRAC officer cadets.

Male officer cadets wore a white Ivorine/plastic disc behind their cap badges.

Correct. A bit expensive.

It's a good thing you aren't going to hit what you're looking at if you don't look down the sight...the girl second from left is looking at the camera(man)!!!

Nice find Jerry, first I've seen but would love to find the badge patch for my WRAC collection.
