Does anyone have a photo of RE Offrs' QVC capbadge? (Did they wear one?)

Thanks

Chris,

I never have, same as all ranks Royal Artillery with their wheeled gun badge.

I wonder if they retained their 'Postmasters style' short peaked Forage Cap with no badge or an FS Cap with a bullion grenade on until post 1902 at least.

best wishes

They've gone to the trouble of updating it with a new crown and cypher then burnished and frosted gilding

Looks like a WBC overlay that’s been messed around with possibly

Best wishes

Thank you both.

No they didn’t adopt forage cap insignia until the 1900 pattern so-called staff/naval forage cap. On the old cap they’d stuck with the simple gold lace band. They did however wear a bullion grenade on glengarry and then Torin cap, followed by the Austrian pattern. No crown on the grenade of course.
