Default COLONEL CAP BADGE

Does any have an idea of the time period that this cap badge would have been used?

From the early 1950s until now. Appears an early quality bullion embroidered example.

A few from my collection, some smaller and with coloured backgrounds for the beret.

Officer’s bullion embroidered cap and beret badges were/are not issued (with very few exceptions) and are purchased from military tailors usually funded by the officers outfit allowance.
As a result, and as they are hand made, there are many variations.
