An unobtrusive little bullion badge, the design being only 25mm x 15mm. Sewn on to a 1953 dated issue dark blue beret (the stitching is as noticeable as the bullion is now), I suspect that the badge is an officer's collar badge rather than a purpose made Warwickshire Yeomanry officer's beret badge?

A Victorian Royal Fusiliers officer's cap badge.
The blue enameling is intact, just a little grimy. |

Very nice fellas, must say I prefer wire embroidery over a metal cap badge.

Your cap would be an OR's private purchase?
Or a sergeants cap? Presumably WO's would wear officers quality chinstraps. Not many squaddies would want a "walking out cap" nowadays, and I wouldn't think there'd be much chance otherwise of getting away with wearing a bullion badge when everyone else is wearing anodised aluminium or new metal. Did bullion become an an option for all ranks? |

no idea, just the cap has the crappy or's strap as it came to me. it is an or's quality cap but perhaps he bought a better badge, though how many or's forage caps still being used by this date, 1969-2006?

Nice - a little bit of a cavalry theme there?
