Tony, I think I may have seen A/A titles for sale but not seen worn.

Later when serving in the RE,the same again, never wore any ,wasnt issued any. A friend who was in the RA left Woolwich with his issued anodised pair and on reaching his Regt was ordered to go any buy a brass pair of totally different size. There are definitely AAC anodised shoulder titles. Made in gold anodised. |

AAC shoulder titles exist in gold anodised and are listed in JSP768.
However, wearing anodised shoulder titles varies in Regiments and Corps. In some case worn only on No2 Dress, in other cases only on the Jersey Heavy Wool or in shirt sleeve order. Some titles are/were worn on No6 Warm Weather Dress. Then there is the whim of a new Commanding Officer to consider and the individual soldier Extra Regimentally Employed and away from his own RSM!

The a/a Royal Signals are worn on ORs' Tropical No6 dress. An awful outfit and rarely worn even in Cyprus and certainly not in the UK.
They were also worn on Officers' Guernsey jumpers including the burgundy ones uniquely worn by 200 Sig Sqn WO's and Officer in the late '80s and early '90s. Very much an individual Sqn thing and 204 Sqn had a dusty khaki one in the early 2000's. |

When I was in the TA as RA shoulder titles were issued but could not be worn until passing out.
