Here's some of my Royal Armoured Corps/Cavalry/Yeomanry bullion beret/hat badges.

Always looking for ones I don't have.

That's a fantastic selection, Mick.

I especially like your 3rd King’s Own Hussars example; it looks mint.

Best,

Marcus

Thanks mate. I'm going well.

Quick question - do you know if the Carabiniers and later the RSDG ever wear bullion beret/hat badges?

Thanks guys! Well over 15 years of collecting there.

Will be interesting to see if any new versions with the new crown will be made.

Hi Mick
Scots DG, no
3rd Carabiniers Officers wore a bullion badge on the side cap, I have a reference picture somewhere I'll dig out for you mate.
Cheers

Nice group of badges there Mick.

However, I think you'll find the KRH badge 4th Row down, 3rd in from right as viewed, is the NCO's Mess Dress Arm Badge. Ref. British Army Badges - Hodges (Page 41 Fig.18).

Hope that's of help to you.

Regards
Rob

PS. Dims: 42.5mm x 55mm.
