Default Unit 'AT' trade badge but WHO?
No covered in any of my usual paper sources -

Cream? letters/laurels on RED...

I assume by size post BD but unit gone before the famous trade badge posters of the '70's.

Possibly Duke of Wellington’s Regiment.

Examples of LG in Wreath and B Tradesman pre 1960 patterns.

1960 and more recent versions.

Is it the item lower right ? Unusual manufacture with merrowed edge, but still Duke of Wellington’s I think.

Generally they were issued for ‘warm weather’ dress which is not worn much these days but some remain in the ‘catalogue’. However, a few anodised trade badges are still worn currently on No 2 Dress by the Household Cavalry and King’s Troop RHA, for example Farrier (Horseshoe) and Equitation Instructor (Spur).

See my album for examples. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...hp?albumid=588

Yours is the same as the one I got off them (D of W Regt).

Thanks, images of them in wear seem to be uncommon.
