Gurkha Signals Badge

2 Attachment(s)

Hi All,

I've never seen either so can anyone tell me if I've got a cap badge or a collar badge please?

I'm guessing it's a collar badge but as was after a cap can anyone show me what a Gurkha Signals cap badge looks like (if this isn't one)?

I'm guessing it will still be lugged but maybe just bigger than this?

Thanks for the help.

Michael

World Military Encyclopedia has a photo of a "Queens Gurkha Signals beret badge" which has 'horizontal lugs'.

I think you have a hat badge. The photo might help, Hat badge about 38mm and collars 28mm.

You are welcome Micheal, anything that I know about Sig badges I learnt from Chris Walker.
