I got this pic from another forum. They think it is from WWI. I think it's origin may be older and possibly a repro. can anyone here tell me what it is? I can't find it on the net. thanks

Looks like the 1902-18 British [Royal] Army Service Corps cap badge.

Ditto to you, Tony. It's always a pleasure to join you on an ID quest, and I look forward to the next one!

Here's a good site for identifying British cap badges:

Also, if you're researching a British regiment, try this one:

Nice id PBK. Looks like someone's trying to stir the pot again?

Nice id PBK. Looks like someone's trying to stir the pot again?

I'm wondering what you mean by that. I haven't seen any pot stirring in this thread.
I started this thread and PBK made the ID for me but did not give any reference, so I did take the ID from PBK and tried to do some research which came up with slightly different dates and so I posted it for clearification.
after reading your post, it seemed to me that my second post was the only thing that might be construde as stirring the pot so I removed it. but it was not stirring anything, just seeking clrearification. Please let me know if I am correct and it was my post that you thought was stirring up things so that I may use better wording in future posts. Thanks.

The irrelevant "stirring" post has disappeared, but it wasn't your's PostFatal... all is good.
