Default 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.
