Hi Mike,
This has came up on here before on an old thread saying they wore a small beret type metal badge with K/C in the 16-18 month period before amalgamation.
One similar in the bottom centre of my image.
I have searched and asked this question a few times and have found no evidence if this was the case or if they wore AA or the Bimetal badge with QC.
The Lancashire PWV had no official cap badge of their own and it has been suggested they wore a collar badge prior to the amalgamation.
I find it surprising that no definitive answer to this has been found considering it is quite a modern period.
I do wander if the continued wearing of the Lancaster Brigade badge was the easy solution rather than some of the answers I have heard

Mike. Somewhere i have the answer to the Lancashire PWV in writing if i can find it i will post it. But yes they did wear a collar badge as cap badge .
