ROYAL MARINES FSC cap badge?
Picked up this little beauty today, bi metal RM collar. Having looked at member Irv's 'Cockle Shell Hero' thread,which includes a photo of a RM FSC, having also read on the RM Museum site about the wear of this headdress, I wonder could this be a cap badge?
Cheers Tony.

Royal Marines - Collar or FSC?
Tony,
I picked up a similar item recently and would also appreciate positive identification of its use. Tim

Tony, Tim, Irv
Hopefully you can see/read the picture I've attached below which is a clip from 1948 Dress Regs. Although the badges you show are the standard collar badge from approx. 1923 - 1958, iaw the Dress Regs this is the type of badge that was worn in the FSC (Bronze for the Khaki FSC). Although I've seen the combination once or twice I have never seen it written down anywhere that this style Globe & Laurel was worn with a Lion & Crown above. I've attached a few pictures of some of the variations I have. Paddy |

Paddy excellent documentation. With the heavy polishing on my example, I'm going for cap badge rather than collar. Why? Because I am
Thanks Tony.
