"I think as collectors we want black and white it’s X Regt when it truth it could also be Y Regt or even Z Regt. Unless you had an attribution or provenance of some kind attached to a specific badge there’s no way of knowing for sure."
Indeed, truer words have never been written!
I used to think that there must have been some distinction between the regiments which wore these badges, but the knowledge gleaned in recent years from contributors such as Luke have enlightened me.
