British Army Reserve - officer badges (silver) 1938 & 1939

            Two hallmarked silver badges issued by the War Office to demobilised army officers enlisted in the army’s reserve. These silver badges were issued to de-mobilized or ex-army officers on the reserve list and meant to be worn with civilian clothing only.

There are two variants of this badge, one for the REGULAR ARMY RESERVE OF OFFICERS (1939) and the other for the ROYAL ARMY RESERVE (1938). I am unable to find out the technical difference between the two. I wonder if a similar had ever been issued for the Territorial Army Reserves but am unable to find any information that confirms this although the matter had been raised in Parliament?

Thank you for reading.
Stuart.
