DUKE OF LANCASTERS OWN
Hi team. I though this was an odd one. Hell of a weird back to it. Anyone seen anything like this before.
Thanks Simon. |

Simon,
I used to have quite a good collection to the DLOY and have to say I have not seen anything like your badge. Could you post a picture of the front please. Peter

Simon,
Other than being used to reinforce the badge when it had the brooch fitting attached, I cannot understand why anyone would do that to a badge. There are 2 examples of this design illustrated in "Uniforms of the British Yeomanry Force-The Duke of Lancasters Own Yeomanry". One is described as "OR`s gilding metal badge on blue dress forage cap 1900-1914,in bronze on on khaki service cap 1909-14" The second smaller badge is described as "OR`s gilding metal probably post 1920 " This might at least explain why your example appears to have a bronze finish. P.B.

Hi Peter and Peter, yes it is an odd one. Not sure, but it has a good feel about it for some reason. But I (many times) have been wrong......
Maybe someone can shed some light on it and maybe have seen this before.Thanks for the input. Last edited by LONGSHANKS; 26-07-11 at 10:53 AM. |
