West India Regiment - Slider Holder
Just acquired this example of a West India Regiment cap badge in bimetal which came complete with a "slider holder" made from sheet brass with 8 stitch holes and long enough to hold a 60mm slider.
Grateful for information on the headdress this was designed for and the period of use. Edwards shows the badge as 1958 and other threads show that it was also made in anodised aluminium. Tim

Hi Tim,
Some nice pics there, with that unusual slider holder! The West Indies Regt was indeed made for issue in gold & silver a/a. The makers name was J.R Gaunt London. I will try and post a pic of the badge tomorrow if you wish. Regards UKbrits

54Bty comments that the slider holder is for inside the RA/RHA Busby and holds the plume holder. Tim
