11th Hussars NCO's Arm Badge?
Good day folks
I believe this to be an NCO's arm badge for the 11th Hussars. Approx 2.5 inches tall and 2 inches wide. Am I correct. Not my area of interest which is why I ask. Also came with this interesting piece of soldier's art. Made from a car badge I think with a cap or collar inset and a shoulder title below. Stands just over 6 inches tall with an easel stand to the rear. Nice for the 11th Hussar collector. Best wishes James |

The "NCO's arm badge" is a fake.
Never made in GM only WM. Often seen on ebay. regards

Simon is correct the arm badge in Brass is fake.
Here are 3 examples of genuine arm badges. White metal, Silver plate and HM Silver

G'day James.
My understanding is that the Gm badge is a pouch badge rather than an arm badge, which as the boys have said is either Wm, Silver or Silver Plate. Regards Phil. |
