Default Armoured Corps set

Hi Gents,

Looking for opinions on originality of these if possible, and yes, shame on me, the collars are facing the wrong way.............

Thanks

Kevin

Hi Kevin there were a number of variations of these badges but yours are fine.

I stand to be corrected but think the collars should be reversed to face inwards. Will try and find out for you.

I have never seen a single example that I would regard as spurious.

Brian,

Thanks for your reply, and yes the collars should face inwards.
With 20 years service in the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment I really should not have posted them facing out like that.........

Regards and stay safe
