Border help
Can anyone tell me what this is or what it is trying to be or if its a fantasy item.
Its 5cm in circumference and is a bronzey/brassy metal My first thoughts where HPC but the lugs to me are wrong. Any opinion would help Thanks Paul Last edited by Paul Spellman; 23-05-14 at 10:08 PM.

I just said that PB, but decided to delete as it was 5 cm's. You think a collar then. Also, looks like dirty white metal maybe.

Hi guys, certainly not a collar it is far too big.
It isnt white metal, it has a funny feel like highly polished spelter. Thanks Paul

I feel that I have seen this badge somewhere and that it's a Field Service cap badge, but I may be wrong.

The lack of the South Africa battle honour dates it pre 1905.

Hi Paul.
If this is a genuine item, as in proper badge and not a fake, what you have is an Other Ranks helmet plate centre, (KK 326) with the scroll removed and as Thomas points out, pre 1905. The reason I mention proper badge, is that those I have seen were all clearly a white metal badge. I have seen a few, but all with a brooch fitting, for, I suspect wear on a glengarry. If genuine, (which I hope it is) it is also very likely that your item was also adapted for a glengarry but to be fixed with lugs and a pin. Regards Brian
