It's of white metal? A Queen's Own Hussars NCO's arm badge I think, except it has a slider.

Leigh Kitchen, thanks.

I believe you're right. It is however made of brass and presumably as a replacement for a missing cap badge?

regards

3748 Hussar,

there is no evidence of any other fitting so the slider was fitted at the time of manufacture.
For this reason, I suggested that that it may have been used as a cap badge, not that it was a cap badge. Strange things happen in war situations.

I do appreciate that it is an NCO sleeve badge though.

Regards, Iain
