Mystery military drum

[RAD]

Does anyone have any idea what the maroon and light blue colours of this military type drum might represent ? Thank you.

Hello RAD,
My evaluation would be The Parachute Regiment of the British Army without blaze. Both the colours plus the undulating maroon stripes on both the light blue rims, are correct for the PARAS. Unfortunately because it is a view from the side of the drum and not the blaze, but at least the tips of the battle honours should be discernible if present.

thanks Jim ... there is no blaze ... just plain brass where it should be

RAD,
As far as I know the drum is correctly painted. at least consistent with all those painted by Potters of Aldershot I've seen, but without the blaze. The blaze normally being centered on that portion of the drum painted maroon.
