Default Alleyn's or Dulwich College CCF

Could anyone confirm which school CCF (currently?) wears this badge. The Dulwich College one I have in my collection has the GODS GIFT motto and foundation date and the Alleyn's one has always been larger.

It's cast smooth backed.

Thanks.

Could it be an OTC officers' collar for Dulwich College whose motto is it.

It's not Alleyns as there's is God's Gift as you say.

Dulwich CCF currently wear the Welsh Guards beret and cloth badge whilst Alleyns wear the PWRR's beret and badge.

Thanks Alan.

I'm quite happy if it's a collar, annoying I've seen another one on a site somewhere but can't remember where.

The OTC officers, but not the cadets, did wear collar badges as shown above. It's too small to see whether these are the small badge shown or full sized cap badges.

Great photo, I've only seen it once before on display in the small museum they had (have ?) above the library.
