From the RACD ledgers there are a number of Britannia badges (without wreath)

but it's difficult to determine which is cap / FSH or collar.

there is an 'irregular' tapered top to sheaf, sloping visor front H40 W34
- but this is thought to be akin to SP 11083/1937

very complicated ???

Interesting posts, thanks all.
Andrew - do you have any more information about the cross belt plate in post 9? I have always been slightly dubious about that style of plate -it is clearly not the pre 1855 version, after which cross belt plates were abolished. Who would have worn this, when, and for what purpose? Ceremonial duties or some such thing?

Lovely Andrew, if you’re talking about wider use of the badge I did have a WM version on screw posts. As you’ve shown the design was utilised way beyond the FSH Pagri.
