WW2 British Royal Army Physical Training Corps APTC Collar Insignia Single

The WW2 British Royal Army Physical Training Corps (APTC) Collar Insignia Single is an original military badge issued during the Second World War. The APTC, established to oversee physical fitness and training standards within the British Army, played a significant role in maintaining troop readiness. This collar insignia features the distinct crossed swords motif with a crown above, representative of the Corps. Made of metal, the badge was typically worn on the collar of the service uniform by APTC personnel. The reverse of the insignia often includes lugs or fixings designed for secure attachment to the uniform. As a single piece—rather than a paired set—this insignia is suitable for collectors or researchers focusing on British Army regalia, insignia identification, or the development of military training organizations during World War II. The piece provides insight into the history and recognition of the physical training specialists within the British forces of the era.
