Default 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 ?

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.
