Recently read from a dealers advert Badges of RDG MK I & II and from LD Badges MK I. II & III. Can anyone explain the differences to me and is it recommended to have all Mk's in a collection

Jim both types were issued for use .The 2nd issue with the blue circle was to make the motto stand out The officers bullion 1 st type had no motto 2nd issue has the motto also slightly larger in size I always try and buy marked examples of the cap badge . I need an officers Firmin marked for completion
If you are interested in collecting to this regiment there are 3 different size shoulder titles
