Finally found it! I had to root through a number of dusty drawers.

I got this in Peshawar in the '80's while I was working up there. It was rather beaten up when I got it so I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's pre-Partition. Perhaps someone can tell us.

There was a bit of green verdigris on it, which I attempted to remove with a stiff bristle brush. You can see traces, but then, that's appropriate considering its provenance.

Best,

Hugh

Here's the reverse. You'll see that the pin is quite different from most UK / Commonwealth badges, but I also have a Rajputana Rifles badge with a very similar pin. I got the Raj Rifles in Delhi. It's equally weathered.

Dear Shams,

Thanks for the information. It's evident that you're much better informed on Frontier Corps than I am. I appreciate it. Does the Frontier Force Regiment (Army) still exist? The last time I visited them was around 1989.

Best,

Hugh
