Description
Royal Lancers hand-embroidered beret badge for officers and Warrant Officers Class 1, with a metal skull and crossbones, bullion lances and an OR GLORY scroll on black felt.
Specification
Design
The officer beret badge has a metal Death's Head, wire-bullion lances, scarlet-and-white pennons, blue OR GLORY banner and shaped black felt; a bronze subdued Death's Head is used in the field.
Variant Identity
The source distinguishes the Officer beret specification within Death's Head Cap Badges.
Placement
Standard cap-badge placement depends on the headdress: about 2 cm above the beret band towards the left eye; on the left of Kilmarnock, Balmoral and Tam O'Shanter bonnets about 3.6 cm above the band; towards the left eye on a caubeen except the Irish Guards' reversed right-eye placement; centred on the front band of forage and Service Dress caps; and at the front or side of felt hats.
Fastening
Cap badges normally use a standard single vertical hook-shank fastener; exceptionally large badges may use additional support only where Army Dress Committee authority has been granted.
