63PLI title

[Sonofacqms]

I bought this title today and apart from it being Colonial, probably Indian I do not have a clue which unit wore this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Could it be the 63rd Palamcottah Light Infantry, 1903, Indian Army??

Dave,

Many thanks for this great piece of information, the construction looks definitely Indian and although I had started looking, I had not got that far back.

I believe Dave is correct: the construction would fit an Indian unit for the period 1890ish onwards.

Rob,
I think that maybe the right unit, hopefully! Anyway glad to help, it's all a learning curve..................

Dave,

I checked it out and it was disbanded just after the Great War, the title looks more modern than that, but very well made.

Rob,

Don't know who else that number and lettering combination could refer to! I would of thought it's almost an unique combination.....
