Officer's ASC 1901-11 badge with various tangs, loops etc
I thought it might be of interest to show the variety of different fittings on the officer's Army Service Corps 1901-11 forage cap badge. This is the one illustrated in Kipling & King as KK 988.
Top left: gilt and silver plate with two tang or blade fittings
Top right: Another version but with an unusual arrangement of a single tang and a single loop fitting, positioned N&S. The gilt and silver plate is totally absent, so it has either completely worn off or the badge was made in bi-metal
Bottom left: OSD version with two tang fittings
Bottom right: Another OSD version, but on two loops. Probably a full size collar
Unfortunately, I haven't yet found the OR's version.
