King died February 1952 , old (King's) badges would be used until new ones (Queen's) could be manufactured.

Again, I don't know how long it took after King George VI died before the caps were stamped by appointment to the "Late King", or before Herbert Johnson received the Queen's Warrant. Never say never, but I'd not rush to buy a post 1952 cap badged up with King's Crown insignia and bearing by appointment to the Queen and not the late King. Whatever, it ain't WWII although no doubt some sellers would present it as such to boost the price. |

This saw k/c badges still in use in 1958 when the amalgamations of cavalry and infantry brigade badges replace them with completely new designs. The 8th KRIH were still wearing k/c on amalgamation in 1958 for example. |

Good to date the "Late King" markings.
I'd want a good look at any signs of badge and buttons replacement on that cap. |

It seems the same rule applied for warrants issued by the Queen Mother but have changed with the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

I think I have the change over somewhere - BUT I do know that the Liverpool Irish only changed from KC to QC in 1964 !

Hence perhaps no QEII Royal Warrant was issued? Tim

Herbert Johnson caps are marked by appointment to the Queen so presumably the warrant has been granted.

Mike,
I have it at 1936-38, and good to see it with an actual date from a period publication also showing the modern QEII and prince of wales version
