Here is a clearer shot showing the difference in the gaps between the two badges.

Cheers

Using an earlier post from Chrisr I picked this adge up as a Royal 1rst Devonshire Yeomanry. There was no info on regarding the reverse and mine is lugged. Hoping this is a cap and not a collar.

although it looks like there may e a space on the inside leg there isn't.It's solid.

It looks good to me Jim.

Mine has blades rather than lugs; its dimensions are 4cm from the top of the crown on lion's head to the base of the large crown and 2.5cm across the widest part of the crown.

Cheers
Chris

It is thought to be General Staff with the gap between the leg. The RDY supposedly has no void between the more forward extended rear leg and the cross at the top of the crown.
Doubt this is a hard and fast rule however. Usually staff officers badges were embroidered.

Hi Malc,
I would agree with CB. I'd be surprised if the badge for sale in your link is for the Royal Devon Yeomanry Hussars. Here is mine for comparison.
Cheers, Tinto

I understand now, thanks for re-posting this thread. 3 voids as opposed to 2.

Mid WW1 - the trench cap was introduced in 1915 I believe. I am no hat expert so please correct me if this is wrong.
