Unknown badge cap
Hello everyone
I saw this badge cap that I was presented as a badge of the medical service of the R.F.C. ??........What do you think about? I do not find it in Cox's book or in K & K. Bonne journée. Jean-Paul |

KK volume 2 - page 90 and 93. Royal Army Medical Corps. KK1007 I believe, but what it has to do with RFC I have no idea, it could be that the badge belonged to a soldier attached as a medical orderly. I am sure others on the site will help with further information. Regards Steve |

Thank you Steve for this rapid answer.
I am a French collector for the Commonwealth 1914-18 in the "Pas de Calais & Somme" and I do not have volume 2 of K & K. This explains that. Jean-Paul |

2nd badge is RAF Medical Services authorised Oct 1918. Worn as collar badges I believe.

Second badge is a fake copy of a 1920 RAF medical corps collar badge. As Magpie says, it should have lugs and a voided crown.

I think your 'cap badge' could be a doctored RAF Medical Services Collar badge. If you go to www.britairforce.com/raf_trade you will see the badge but it is clearly identified as a collar badge. I suspect that as a collar badge it would have lugs (loops) rather than a slider. There is also a similar badge on e-bay described as RAF Medical Branch but this has lugs(loops). I would have a very good look at the rear of the badge to see if it once had lugs and maybe has been changed. I hope someone else can give more positive advice but to me this badge is suspect..... I may of course be wrong as I am new to collecting but I can not find positive identification of this badge with slider anywhere. Regards Steve et bon jour ami (hope my schoolboy French is good....) |

Re bonjour.
Here are more pictures of this curious cap badge. It looks like it was cast ... There are no traces of lugs |

I don't think real ones are that easy to find and most are fake.
