Default RAF Warrant Officer cap badges

Der Forum,

I assume these 2 badges are original war P_20230805_093439.jpg

P_20230805_093500.jpgtime pieces.

Am I correct ?

Thank you,

Dominique

Hello Dominique,

RAF Warrant Officers badges are all but impossible to date since they appeared in 1918, as they hardly changed until the introduction of the variation of the crown following QEII coming to the throne.

The smaller one, on the right looks like it’s a casting, although sharper images would confirm this, but this still doesn’t help date it or the stamped version on the left.

Sorry, this doesn’t give you the definitive answer you were looking for.

Default Cast badge.

Hello,

Your comments are much appreciated, thank you !

You are correct about the smaller badge,

it is cast.

I understand these are Far or Middle East made ?

Regards,

Dominique
