17th Lancers
What a find! almost certainly a bazaar made item, from memory a chap who I knew who served in Palestine c1946-7 with the Artillery told me that the 17/21st Lancers wore a different badge to "the motto" when serving there. Quite what the sort of badge they wore was he did not say.
Looking at this badge with the XVII, I would think it would pre date the 1922 amalgamation. A friend has suggested it could be a mess servants badge. If these badges turn up in any quantity I would be suspicious, but as this is the first I have ever seen, I think it is worth further research. Last edited by Sonofacqms; 07-02-09 at 04:03 PM.

Its the 2nd version i've seen. The other was white metal. No record or image of such a badge exists within the regiment. Looks to be a cross over from the 21st lancers badge.
