steelbonnet Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Does anyone know what this badge is. Tried what books I have along with google images but no luck, so I am putting the challenge out there. The scroll part is completely flat, is cast as one piece, has typical copper lugs found on British badges. height is 2 1/8 " Gordon
Guards Armoured Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Challenge accepted: I believe this is a pre-1957 nco’s arm badge of the 7th Queen’s Own Hussars. Robert
steelbonnet Posted June 30, 2022 Author Posted June 30, 2022 Well done Robert. Not a cap badge so I was looking in the wrong place. I have had a look elsewhere and all the other pictures show a dimpled ground to the lettering mine is flat and smooth. Maybe I have found a copy? Thanks again for putting me on the right road. Gordon
coldstream Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Can you post a picture of the reverse please? Simon.
steelbonnet Posted June 30, 2022 Author Posted June 30, 2022 I do a reverse pic in the morning when lights is better Gordon
steelbonnet Posted July 1, 2022 Author Posted July 1, 2022 Picture of reverse. I wonder if the flat surface has been filed down and polished to give a brighter shinier finish. The precedent for this is seen on Royal Scots Greys badges where the high points, chest etc. are often found polished flat. I was told this by a retired RS Greys Sgt. Gordon
