AAC OSD badge? - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Good afternoon,

Spotted this badge on eBay a while ago but didn't bid because it's unknown to me.
Did the AAC had OSD cap badges?
I like to read your thoughts on this.

Think I may give that a miss!

Billy is right it’s a repro. A fake AAC badge has been used to create a lost wax cast copy in an OSD bronze finished with tangs.

Bosley’s recently sold a pair of collars on their Regimental Badges site https://www.regimentalbadges.com/en-...0#.Xu3uYiXTWaM

No, they wore silver or plated beret badges and silver or plated and more usually bronze collar badges.

Thank you, Billy, they are bronze.

Not an exact matching pair, notwithstanding, they face and could have been worn together.
