Border Regt Helmet Plate Centre
Good day folks
I picked this up recently with a lot of other badges that included some horrible restrikes. What about this though? Is it OK? Taking a wild assumption that it is good, what era? Many thanks James |

Its fine and dates up to circa 1908 and possible 1914.
You will have noticed that it is a militia HPC. |

Found a similar hat badge sold at Bosley's in 2015 that is described as 3rd & 4th (Militia) Bns. Border Regiment OR's white metal cap badge circa1896-1908.
So mine is the HPC for those Bns. Again thanks to Alan for pointing me in the right direction. James |

The VB HPC were identical but with the VB scrolls below.
The militia also wore a reduced size HPC which I presume was in a glengarry or FSC. From 1905 they wore peaked caps with bespoke cap badge until 1908. |
