Question Australian Corps of Signals cap badge

Help please.

Can any member of the forum please advise me by way of a photograph or an article in a book if there ever was Between 1925 and 1931 an actual Australian Corps of Signals Cap badge.

Recently there has been a thread regarding ultra rare Australian Corps of Signals collar badges. Slick-Mick and Quicksilver have produced excellent photogarphs of collar badges, but I have yet to see a cap badge.

I do not know of any body who has. Cossum's says unknown and Festburg says there was one.

I assume size would be the answer if somebody has one. Quicksilver will give me the size of his pair of collar dogs to check on the size of any cap badge that me be forth coming.

I very much hope some one can put me and a lot of other people out of their missery

Kind regards

Chris Walker

Dear Mick.

I would very much appreciate that. If indeed you do get a positive answer from some of you connections a photograph and size of badge would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Chris

Here's a picture of what I believe to be an Australian Corps of Signals Association badge - it has a screw arrangement on the back.

Dear Mick.

Brilliant picture. Could you send me a copy to my home address
ormer@vraic.freeserve.co.uk

Not sure if it is an Association badge. Cliff Lord has advised me that there was a reddish brown version. I will email him now to make sure hes sees this thread.

Where do you find them?????????????????????????????????

Best Wishes

Chris
