Default Anodised Royal Pioneer Corps

Gents, initially posted for interests sake, 2 of the rarer anodised RPC cap badges with a Grove slider - with both Kings and Queens crown.

However a silver example? Has an early Smith & Wright slider - again, not a maker known for its poor quality control standards. Although of course, likely to be a colour error- unless anyone knows better . . .

I have the KC GROVE version. Found at Chatham a few years back in a tray of odds and ends.
