Default 3 RM cap badges - any good
Good day Gentlemen

Here are 3 RM badges. Are they any good?

What is the one with the ship on it?

All the best

James

Hi James

I cannot comment as to authenticity but the one with a ship is RM Labour Corps.

Hope this helps

Graham

Regarding the RMLC badge - note they should be 'voided' as illustrated on the back of John Rawlinsons book available through the Royal Marines Museum, Southsea. Also as shown on the Royal Marines Historical Society site (links below).

For my own benefit I would like to see some original RMLC badges with close ups of the back. Anyone have one?
Regards
Irv

Apologies for any confusion in my posting above - RMLC is badge discussed, as updated in my text.

I hope the links are helpful, although I have posted them previously (others may have done so too.)

Mike
