Description
Up for sale is an original, premium quality British Army cap badge for the Royal Army Veterinary Corps (RAVC). This is a highly sought-after, private-purchase heavy metal variation manufactured under license by AMMO U.K.. Unlike lightweight aluminium issues, this robust piece features a brilliant, polished gold-gilt laurel wreath framing a distinct silvered Centaur. The badge is beautifully topped with the Queen’s Crown.
The reverse includes its original, full-length vertical slider deeply stamped with the official manufacturer mark: “AMMO U.K.”. This is the exact type of premium badge preferred and purchased by serving personnel via the unit PRI shop for parade dress. It makes an excellent addition to any modern British Army corps or cavalry collection.
Condition
- Overall State: Excellent vintage, issued condition with brilliant mirror-like finish retention.
- Details: The heavy-metal die-stamping is exceptionally crisp with sharp details on the Centaur and wreath. The front polished surface retains a beautiful bright shine. The reverse side remains clean with minimal signs of pocket wear. The vertical brass attachment slider is original, perfectly straight, and securely attached to the main badge body.
- Please review the high-resolution front and back photos carefully to verify the exact cosmetic state before bidding or buying.
Item History
Formed originally in 1796, the Royal Army Veterinary Corps (RAVC) is the specialized branch of the British Army responsible for the care, provision, and training of animal assets—predominantly military working dogs and horses. The mythical Centaur emblem beautifully reflects the historical unity between the soldier and the animal.
This specific variation is a modern-era, licensed private-purchase item made by AMMO U.K.. Because standard-issue quartermaster badges shifted to lightweight anodised aluminium in the 1950s, premium makers like AMMO U.K. stepped in to provide high-quality, solid metal alternatives for soldiers wanting a superior appearance on their uniforms.
