Question About Royal Armoured Corps Badges...

[oc14]

Just a few quick questions about Royal Armoured Corps badges:-
1) Was there ever an officers bronze version of the first pattern Royal Armoured Corps cap badge (the pattern with the RAC letters rather than the mailed fist)
2) Were there ever officers bronze collar badges of this pattern?
3) Were there ever ORs brass or gilding metal collar badges of this pattern ?
4) Were there ever officers silver (or silvered) collar badges in the second pattern (mailed fist) King's crown or Queen's crown
5) Were any HM silver Queen's crown , officers second pattern cap badges produced ?
6) Were any of the officers pattern badges produced in bullion for wear on a beret ?
Just want to make sure that these things actually exist so that I'm not chasing unicorns !
Photos of any of the above that do exist would be greatly appreciated !

TIA

Thank you Tony

I knew about the officers bronze 2nd pattern collar badges, I didn't know about the others

This is from the Olympia auction site...
Hope it helps, I didn't know there was a silver plate QC cap and collars until I saw this..

The QC bullion was worn by a cadet force, I found one on-line and asked about it, I'll find my thread

That’s a card from the Professor Charles Thomas collection. Discussed on here in several other threads.
