Cameronians cap badge query
GuyB replied to RobCH's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
Apologies. In that case, it may well be a commissioned officers cap badge in silver plate or unmarked silver made locally in India. Sometimes Scottish SNCO and Officers cap badges can be almost identical in design but constructed out of different materials. In fact, they are not that common, it's just that Scottish cap badges are heavily researched area. -

It's a very nice example of a Cameronian SNCO's badge worn between around 1901 to 1958. Was your father a Sergeant, Colour Sergeant or Warrant Officer? -

I actually have a photo of the Master Tailor sewing on the badge from the MOD blog but it's crown copyright.

Rank insignia of Staff officers
GuyB replied to sbintayab's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
Modern Aide de Camps to the Queen wear a gilt metal EIIR below their rank on the epaulettes in No1, Service dress and sometimes barrack dress (depending on whether metal or embroidered rank is worn). This includes Chaplains and Surgeons. -
ID please - is this Royal Navy button?
GuyB replied to Noor's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
I've had a look in Rank and Rate by E C Coleman and there's nothing similar worn by Royal Navy officers. The Japanese Imperial Navy appear to wear a button with a small Chrysanthemum over the top of the anchor so I doubt it is Japanese.
