Default Black on green or camo trade badges status ?

I see alot of these but are they official or quasi official or just plain private purchase but tolerated or fully acknowledged ?

Private purchase and not allowed according the MTP dress regulations but in the past have been tolerated depending on which regt/cap badge is wearing them.

The Army Dress Committee has come down on such things in the last couple of years and a lot of units have been ordered to remove 'regtl' and unofficial badges.

They are an "out of sight, out of mind" item.

A selection of black on olive green rank slides here http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...hp?albumid=969

Although no longer approved for MTP PCS CU some are still worn on the Jersey Heavy Wool.

The black on olive Rank slides are different to the Trade & Qualification Badges as they were authorised for wear in Barracks only, at Regimental expense.
