Hi GG
Is it just me or is there no evidence of it ever having had lugs or a slider?
Cheers,
Alex

Smile 14th Hussars

It looks as though there could have been a slider at the top of the badge by the small discolouration, probably badly attached and fell off.

Hi GG
I don't like the lack of braze holes, but the ones I have are all lugged and so have the holes, but they obviously pre-date the slidered version, so I couldn't say for sure.
Cheers,
Alex
