Paul R. It could be used on either. Putting a hand embroidered bullion badge on a cap would make it more costly. Depends on how much the person wanted to pay for his hat. These badges were also installed on the steel helmet. Rich A. in Pa.
Kev,Thanks. I did make a error. The Transport is the late type. I should have looked it up and not gone by hung-over memory. Carlsburg Elephants are killer. These emblems are used on sun helmets. I have 2 of the early type with the national coulor coccade on the rear that were removed from sun melmets. These are also used on some peaked caps of lower quality. Rich A. in Pa.
Peter,I'll call it a compass pouch. It was to neat to not buy for $5. It was tagged as 1870s British pouch. Chris,The scale in the pic is metric. Thanks! Rich
Peter,Thanks for the help. It was in a plastic bin at a gun show I was at. Everything in the bin was $5. It was a mix of stuff. Thanks for the idea it may be a compass pouch and Indian Army. Rich
Bottom pic looks like M.P.'s. 1 is a corporal. Great pics! Thanks for posting them! The enameled badge is super. Never seen that badge. Only thing I have is the commerative badge for the Albanian Campaign. And I am a Italian collector. Rich A. in Pa.
