Default KOYLI Cap Badge?

Another from my small collection .. was suggested it was a KOYLI cap badge.

Is it pre WW1 ?

Cheers

Gary

No idea about date but it looks like an officer's badge, and it is KOYLI.
Cheers,
Alex

It is indeed an officer's service dress cap badge, even though it has a rather light brass appearance. There is a small black patent leather roundel beneath the rose, unique to this regiment.

The OSD badges of the KOYLI were blackened metal with a silver rose on a black leather backing. I would say your badge was originally blackened.
