Baluch Rank Slides

Good day folks.

Do you think that these are pre or post independence? I suspect latter as pre independence would be 10 Baluch or X Baluch wouldn't it.

Thanks

I think in 1945 all the Infantry Regiments lost their numbers apart from the Punjab Regiments this accounts for title without numbers.

As above, no number: post 1945.
King's Crown: pre Republic of Pakistan (1956).

That are of course the "hard" dates. In both cases new badges would take some time to be made and distributed. I have even no idea how fast the Republic of Pakistan was in replacing the crowns and pips with newly designed moon/star and pips.

(And as usual, the day of independence hasn't much to do with this).

Thanks folks, that's what I thought.

All the best
