It's a new one on me. Not British anyway, crown is very continental looking Belgian or Dutch most likely, but there are others.

If I can take the picture to the badge forum we'll probably get an answer, we have a few members from the continent over there.

You don't want to look over there as I run that forum as well and it matches the design of this one, and can be confusing!

That's what I thought it was before I enlarged it as the Army Apprentice College had the crowned cog as well in their cap badge.

-It is not a cap badge. It was use on the uniform and the shirt. This badge is Danish and was given to "Hæren tekniske korps" Army technical unit. When Army Material Command HMAK in 1972 the badge was given to "Hærens Materiel og færdselsskole" HMFS, and this was part of the Training regiment. And the badge is not in use now.

As an ex-Beachley Boy, Group 69A, I agree. Collar Dogs for an apprentice tradesman.
