Valuation Required

[The Badger]

I have a INDIA POLICE Officer's silver cap badge with a king's crown, E-W loop fitting. Hallmarked on front Maker J.W & S with Anchor (Birmingham) Lion(Stirling) with date letter g for 1906. Height: 60mm. Intertwined "IP" cipher

Anyone any idea as to its value or rarity this is totaly out of my field of collecting.

Thanks Alan

Alan - sorry I missed this and strangely, no-one else has answered.

All old Indian badges seem to have a premium - I suppose shades of the Raj ? I have a complete uniform - with

cross belt - and this same badge is used in larger size for the pouch badge.

I would think at least 50 pounds - if not more. Mervyn
