Need some help/opinions on this Army Service Corps badge.

As you can see it sports a J.R. Gaunt London plaque.

Now the question is - collar badge or Edwardian cap badge?

Is there a difference and if so what???

ASC OR collars were much smaller than the cap badge. The Gaunt plaque is not normal for an issued badge and is normally found on commercially sold badges - mostly for Officers, the RND or other nations.

This is the other ranks cap badge worn 1911-1919. The collar badges for the same period were smaller, non-voided and had a raised crown standing clear of the garter. The cap badges of this pattern mostly had sliders fitted.

Sorry for being a bit late to the post guys,

Below are a few images of Collars as well as Cap badges, they are both shown as per Regulars (gilded) & Volunteers (WM).
