    R.S.R. ALPINIST MILITAR INSIGNIA.

    for starters a Grade 3.

    It may have had a coat of varnish applied post issue,

    as these were notorious for losing the "painted" enamel.

    Kevin,

    Interesting looking badge. Was this just an enlisted persons badge or would an officer wear one as well? Good luck i getting the other classes of this badge.

    Regards,

    Gordon

    Just in the door, two other Class 3 alongside the one I had yesterday,

    and with noticeable difference.

    Pine branch represented in black as opposed to green.

    Number 3 is smaller but defined thicker.

    The position of the crest is lower, but this I think due to sloppy workmanship.

    I believe these are Grade badges for proficiency in the specific trade, similar to those seen for Communications, radar operator, mechanic, etc..etc.. examinations had to be passed before getting a higher grade.
