Wilf,

Here is a photo of the rear with its 3 screw posts.

See my scale drawing at the side showing its total dimensions and its screw post distances in red.

Its available if it fits.

regards

Excellent Simon, I'll get the Sabretache out and measure up but it looks good from that, I'll take it for sure if it'll go in. Pics coming up,
Thank you,
Wilf.

Mine has the same dimensions.
Image shows mine and 2 other unusual KRRC pouch badges. Left hand has the ends through the knot,rear is 3 screwposts.
Right hand has the split skin like a DLI badge,HM 1933. 2 posts north and south.
Also there is a mix of the left and right designs . I presume in HM silver .

Huge thank you to Simon, the badge arrived today and now sits proudly on the Sabretache. Never thought I'd get one to fit so I'm delighted with this, a good badge day for me too now. Cheers Simon,
Wilf.
