Description
Up for sale is an authentic antique British military cap badge for the Army Ordnance Corps (AOC). This historic piece features the traditional Board of Ordnance coat of arms shield, detailed with three side-by-side cannonballs at the top and three horizontal cannons stacked down the center. A classic three-part banner curves underneath displaying the clear text “Army”, “Ordnance”, and “Corps”.
The reverse side retains its original, long vertical brass slider attachment, which remains perfectly rigid and securely bonded to the main body. This badge is a great piece of military insignia history, perfect for dedicated militaria collectors, WWI historians, or ancestral display frames.

- Fixing State: The rear slider is complete, unbent, and strongly attached with no modern repairs.
Item History
The Army Ordnance Corps was responsible for the supply and maintenance of weaponry, ammunition, and equipment for the British Army. This specific design directly predates 1918, as the regiment was granted the “Royal” prefix by King George V in November 1918 for its invaluable duties during the First World War (becoming the RAOC). This makes this badge a guaranteed relic from the World War I era or earlier.
