I'm away from any reference material at the moment, can anyone shine any light on these three, one looks like a converted collar badge.
The other two I'm guessing Motor Transport Corps????
Are they mufti badges or do I have a pair of collar badges, or neither?
Thanks Tony.

Think the badge with the stick pin is Kimberley Regiment.

Thanks gentlemen.
Paul do you think the MTC badges are collars?
Cheers Tony.

Tony
I think the cap and collars were the same size, the pin bag may have been more suitable for the cap, best confirming with someone who collects Home Front/Women’s Insignia

Tony, It is my understanding, and also based on Jon Mills' excellent booklet on the MTC that all of their badges were pin back. Also, there was only one badge made for both cap and collars. The ones you have are the second version of the badge when the "Training" aspect was dropped.

All of the MTC badges in my collection are pin back.

Hope this helps,

Terry
