3DG OSD FS Cap Badge

An unusual, officer's service dress, bronzed cap badge for The 3rd Dragoon Guards with two blade fastenings (east and wesst). As KK738/Churchill & Westlake 5.

Note: Given the small size, approximately 38mm wide x 31mm high, and blade fastenings I believe it was worn on the field-service cap.

Colin Churchill and Ray Westlake, in their book on British Army Collar Badges 1881 to the Present, show this item as an officer's service dress collar badge.

It looks as though one of the blades is cracking - I don't recommend it is opened.
