2. RPC OR cap with KC brass badge etc.
3. Staff SO cap with embroidered QC badge and gilt buttons. Note poor definition of curtain outline.
4. Staff SO cap with embroidered KC badge and gilt buttons. Note high definition of curtain outline especially in comparison with item 3.

hi Jerry and Hi Luc, Re your conversation about the grey piped chip. May I respectfully suggest that it may be Army Catering Corps. Their facings and cap welts are grey and, I would imagine that, their FSC piping is probably also grey????
Cheers MR

Excellent suggestion Michael, I will contact the RLC museum if they can confirm. Or is there anyone from around Camberly to stop by the museum?

I know these are not army examples but I think worth a show in the side cap thread the 1st being a RAF Apprentices example which is 1939 dated these also have a green band around them , the bands represent what level / year the apprentice is in .







2nd Example is a RAF tropical example for a officer cadet locally made example and dates from WWII no markings to it .







3rd example is A South African Air Force example which is dated but a bit blurred .

A nice example Steve good to see an early one.

The RAF officer cadet is good to see as is the apprentice banded examples.

Does anyone know of a UK company that makes coloured FS caps to order ? I'd like to get hold of a couple of FS caps for extinct Yeomanry regiments.
Thanks.
