Thanks.

do you know the period? as it doesn't have the '10' between the kukri and bugle.

Hi Chris - it was worn from 1898 > 1950 - which is quite some range. The No 10 between the bugle and the kukri was introduced in when the title was changed to Princess Mary's Own ( Jan 1 1950 ) - the crest then included her cypher as well as the number 10. Tim
