Default Mystery lanyard

Evening gents

Earlier today I picked up a lot of military ‘stuff’ I won in a local auction, the majority of which were connected to the Royal Army Pay Corps. This lanyard was included, although from what I have seen on this forum the RAPC lanyard is dark blue and yellow (primrose), whereas this is dark blue and gold. Is this a variation of that worn by the RAPC? Or by some other unit/corps? Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated as always.

It will become available for sale/swap once I’ve ID’d it.

Thanks for looking

Graham

I think this is similar http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ictureid=91378
I have it as RAPC but would welcome positive identification.

Crest

Thank you, it's an avenue I hadn't thought of.

Hi Tim

Mine looks very like yours, with the main difference being that mine is gold, rather than yellow (although the photo doesn't really show that to good effect).
