Household Cavalry - Puzzled?

Alan,
I've altered the text in the first post, I am referring to the Officers OSD finish badges, these should not exist in "Garter Strap" pattern, but obviously do for ORs in Gm.

Andy,
Here's an unmarked example I consider to be genuine, lugs at 3 and 9 o'clock.
Cheers Tony.

I don't know if this is any help to anyone but something jogged my memory here and I think it's worth posting.

When I was at RAC Trg Regt we had both Life Guards and Blues & Royals doing trade training with us. The Blues wore the same cap badge as the LG but theirs was bronzed and the LG was gilt. It was explained to me that these were regular distinctions.

If anyone knows different and can jog my memory I'd be grateful. These wee things are important as we know.
