3DG and RWY?
I have had these officer badges for quite awhile now and my guess is the badge on the left is a cap badge (long lugs )for the RWY, and the right badge (short lugs) a collar for the 3DG, but would of course like to confirm.
Cheers, CB

Thanks, but I think the smaller collar may be a bit too old for the Royal Hussars, but you may be right. If held in hand, this would become apparent.

Any further ideas here? I think the larger badge is pretty well settled on RWY, but the collar still may have some other possibilities?
Thanks, CB

IMO the smaller of the two badges is a collar worn by 3 Cavalry Victorian Regiments
3rd Hussars - 10th Royal Hussars - 12th Royal Lancers and looks like an Officers collar. Malc

10th Hussars for the smaller one. How does it compare with this one?
Grid is 5mm squares. Tim

First badge I think is a Wiltshire Yeomanry NCO's arm badge.
Second badge , as mentioned before, is a bi-metal collar badge worn by 3DG, 10H, 12L and I believe one of the Yeomanry Regiments. I'll look up the arm badge. Hope this helps Chris

The one I showed is smaller than yours at 35mm wide across the scrolls. However, I have another in bimetal with a single central lug which measures 38mm across and is 34mm high. Both are unmatched singles and I have them noted as other ranks 10th Hussars or Royal Wessex Yeomanry? Tim
