This is a finely crafted Royal Army Service Corps (RASC) cap badge, executed in high-quality materials. The eight-pointed star design features a silver base with applied gold detailing on the central royal cypher and crown, and finely applied green and red enamel on the laurel wreath and crown.
Encircling the monogram is the Order of the Garter motto in dark blue enamel: “Honi soit qui mal y pense” (“Shame on him who thinks evil of it”). The reverse is fitted with the original pin mechanism and a circular gold backplate.
Badges of this quality were typically privately purchased by officers and are far less common than standard issue examples.
