Default ARMY CYCLIST CORPS

Hi, I have what I thought was an officers Army Cyclist Corp cap badge, except it has a slider and not blade fasteners. I have it is not out of the question that officers cap badges may have sliders but would welcome an opinion. Thanks MelD6550050-2BCC-4887-9DDD-63449FF5C06A.jpg

I would say it's just 100+ years of patination on an other ranks cap badge. Best left alone IMO.

Mel,
When I said best left alone, I meant do not clean it, I think the badge may well be an original.
