Does anyone have a genuine 9th Lancers Q/C cap badge I cold see? I have this one but it has no makers name and is semi solid but does have an interesting strenghtening bar.

Just to add confusion, here is mine. Three loops and strengtheners across the lances. I have always regarded this as suspect.

Hi John
You are right to regard it as suspect as it is a restrike IMO,the discolouration,3 lugs and the brass strenghtening bars are the give away. There was no need for the QVC badge with 4 lugs to have strenghtening bars,on the KC yes because of the slider. My KC example. Malc |

9th Lancers qc cap badge strengthening bar

I have one exactly the same as yours in all respects and it does have the rather overweight strengthening bar, flattened towards the ends, as your photo shows. This was given to me by an officer serving in the Regiment very shortly after the amalgamation with the 12th Lancers and I have never doubted its authenticity. Gordon |
Gordon,
Thank you very much for taking the time to let me know; especially with such promising comments. Alan |
