Default Cast KSLI

Hi Gents,

I thought I would share my latest addition to my KSLI cap badge collection.

It just goes to show that a badge doesn't have to be either flash or expensive to be interesting.

This one is sand -cast in brass (or a brass alloy). It has three lugs per late Victorian/early Edwardian examples and also is in two parts - the KSLI being made separate and added.

I assume made overseas but of course will never know. Certainly one of the interesting examples I have found, so wanted to share it here.

Cheerio,

Roy

Very nice Roy. They could have done it as a single piece, but they did a proper job on that one.
