I think this configuration is a bad sign for Queen’s badges. Never seen a Queen’s with 3 loops. Closest, if I recall correctly, would be the officers badge where there’s a ‘tongue’ fitted centre of the scroll and 2 loops behind the lamb.
It’s very common for manufacturers of re-strike/fakes to either not know the correct fittings or fit something unusual that may intrigue a collector into buying. RNDs on sliders, Guards Machine Gun Bn on loops, Wandsworth Pals on loops, WW1 Tank Regiment on loops etc... the list goes on. Comparing other regiments badges and their fittings from different periods is like comparing apples and oranges. Just because it’s right for a 1950s Royal Lincs, Victorian Royal Dublin Fusiliers or pre 1908 Berks IY doesn’t mean it was ever right for a Queen’s badge. As to why 3 loops were used on some badges I’d say it’s just down to shape for most of the earlier ones. Cheers, Luke Last edited by Luke H; 20-02-18 at 03:20 PM. |

If it’s of any assistance - most officers cloak clasps have three loops.
I know nothing of the Queens Regiment, could this be a modified clasp?

At the time of sealing in the late 1890s the hats would have been the field service cap for most Other Ranks. Cavalry also wore the badgeless pill box hats.

The regiment only existed until 1959, but, the badge in the original post is certainly not as old as that, in my opinion, it is brand new.
