Default 7th Gurkha Rifles felt hat
I bought this Gurkha felt hat this morning and I think that it might have been worn by a Rifleman of the 7th Gurkha Rifles. The badge backing seems to be the right tartan but the original badge is missing. The hat band is definitely post war and the original owners service number and his faded name are just visible.

is there anyway of dating the hat and identifying the original owner?
