Indian Army Bearer Corps pagri badge?
1 Attachment(s)
hi all
any ideas what this can be? its probably to big to be a shoulder title as you can see an australian rising sun hat badge beside it for scale i had it in the unknown section on this forum and i was suggested Indian Army Bearer Corps pagri badge, Indian WWI period. can someone confirm and has anyone got any pics of it being worn? its part of a bit of a collection im chasing so any idea on a value would also help thanks in advance bc |
Hi there - it is indeed a brass badge to the Army Bearers Corps - formed in 1901 and so probably WW1 vintage. ( Illustrated in Cox's book ) I'm not sure about value - but I don't think it will be huge - probably £30 >£40 ? Hope that helps. Tim
PS Any Gurkha badges in the lot? |
