Hi Gurkha experts,

Thanks,

I think that the fitting method on the reverse will determine what this badge is for.

Not if you look at the first picture of it next to a BIC pen showing it to be very small.

Unless it is very badly made, the handles are too clsoe together for it to be a Hussars' arm badge. Crossed kukris, handles down, could be 6th, 8th or 9th GR and if it is a boss badge - the size suggests it may be - there should be two wires cpming off the back, or evidence of same.

Hi all,
Thanks for your comments. The badge is not mine but here is a picture showing fixture, seems to be a prong rather than two wires.
Cheers,
Tinto

I hevn't seen a fixing exactly like that before, but a number of Indian made badges - both legitimate and bazaar made for the tourist trade - feature one or two curved metal 'hooks', presumably menat to be pushed through cloth and crimped down. I wonder if this is an Indian made badge, either for one of theri Gurkha battalions or a tourist piece.
