Royal Marines QC in SILVER anodised
Another oddity?
Royal Marines cap badge with Queen's Crown all in silver anodised. Shown for comparison with a gold anodised back of a Devon & Dorset cap badge. Tim

Another odd one Tim as it shows signs of wear, particularly on the lugs. An odd colour error as it should be all one piece gold of course.
I found a strange one in a junk shop in Lincoln a few years ago - usual one piece RM anodised o/r's cap badge, but the globe has been silvered. This is not an error, but a definite creation. Not seen another and would like to know what/why it exists. Bess Compared to the usual Officers/WO.1 anodised cap badge in 2 piece construction.

I think Tims was an Officers badge in waiting. Didnt get to go into the gold tank.
I wonder if they did a trial piece either for SNCOs or Warrant Officers hence the silver globe Bess. It doesnt seem to be a wrong colour error or maybe it got mixed up with the globe and laurels and got silvered anyway.
