15THPACAV Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I managed to acquire this other ranks review order czapka for the 9th ( Queen's Royal ) Lancers on Ebay. It has a Victorian plate, so it is pre-1902 issue. Bob S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QSAMIKE Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Yes it looks like a good Victorian badge and czapka........ You really have to be careful as there is a company in a country on the sub-continent that is reproducing these. even down to the wear and tear...... But saying that this one looks good with the proper signs of age...... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer1856 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Lion Boss to the rear shouldn't be there, plate looks a different colour to the other metal parts it may be gilded so would be a SNCO,S if it gilded looks to be a nice cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been on there a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
