25th Dragoons Badge, Para Badge (and a "clip")!?
The following items were found in the property of my uncle after his death.
There is a small tin, brass actually, that was a WWII first aid kit holder.
Inside were three items:
1 - What appears to be a 25th Dragoons collar badge. There is a letter
"P" stamped in the top rear.
2 - A "clip" constructed of what appears to be two cap or other large 25th Dragoons badges, hinged,
and spring loaded to form a clip.
My guess is that this was intended to be a card holder,
perhaps for calling cards, or perhaps a name card at the officer's mess.
My uncle was a United States Foreign Service Vice-Consul in India, London and Palestine immediately
after the war. I suspect that the badges were a memento from a 25th Dragoons
soldier he served with in one of those locales.
Does anyone have any idea what the "clip" is?
