Dental corps FS cap
Hello again! Too many months out of order! Hope you are well, healthy and enjoying holidays!
Just to show you my last adquisition...I think it is a Dental corps FS cap...I don't know the era, but It is prior 1956 because the buttons (kings crown)...has no badge (never wore...no signs of have attached a badge)...unfortunately, moth bites, but no holes...Hope you like It!

Very nice. My father served in the AD Corps/RADC from 1940 to the mid 1950s but he never wore on of these. Are the buttons on the cap the simple ADC design or the Dragon and sword?

I just have seen your álbum and the FS cap you show there (really nice!)
So FS cap badges were metal for DCA and bullion for RADC! I did not know!...well I don't know if mine is DCA or RADC, so I am not sure what badge is more correct...but now I know that the size It must be the collar size, not the cap size (by the way...I Saw your kakhi visor cap...just amazing!)...thanks for the info! I really apreciate! |

But if the RADC dragon badge was introduced in 1946 (or 1948?) and the bullion appears in 1960, from 1946 to 1960 the badge was metal as the WWII ADC...right?

I don’t have my notes ‘ but thinking about it the ref to bullion collar badges in 1960 was to mess dress
