9th/12th Royal Lancers
Is this badge an officers beret badge or a officers collar badge, or neither. Is the collar badge the same size as the beret badge ?

The officers wore cloth beret badges.

Thanks Alan.
Ok so one question answered, do you think it is a collar badge then ? |

They did however wear metal ones in peaked caps which is what I think yours is. I don't know if the cap and collars were interchangeable but I suspect they were,

Hi Alan.
I should by now have known the beret badge was not metal. Thanks for taking time to answer my questions. Chris |

I thought the No1 cap badge was cloth too. Red backing.
Beret badge on black/ dark blue. So,service dress cap or collar badge |

Here is a 9/12L officer’s beret badge, officer's cap badge and pair of officer's collar badges.

Regarding 9/12 RL badge sizes it may be possible to use the known anodised examples as a guide. There are 3 effective size and uses:-
1. Standard cap badge 2. Standard collar badge (smaller than cap badge, same design - on north and south lugs) 3. Larger collar OR pouch badge. (Same size as cap badge, lugs north and south). These MAY be for No.1 dress or some other pouch or dress kit adornment. Unlikely to be a belt plate badge as does not have the small rectangular stubby lugs we see for those bespoke fittings on anodised badges. Attached my 9/12 RL set. The larger 'collars' are above the arm badge on second sheet. Bess |

I used to have an odd 9th/12th badge in anodised. Same size as the cap badge,lugs n-s but the lugs were flat strips shaped to form a circle,but split. I think it was a pouch badge.
Bess your comment about the waist belt. I dont think they wore one. No1 dress ,the waist girdle of yellow and red. No2 dress just the crossbelt |
