Gents a recent find, can anyone tell me when this pattern was replaced by the all brass example?

I believe it was circa 1906. However the void above the scroll was not part of the period cap badge design.

I have one of these from a Boer war collection and it has 3 lugs.

Looking, in particular, at the reverse image, I would not be happy with that and would return it.

It looks to me that the scroll has been 'peeled' back to create the void. :confused:

Both the material and manufacture used are not original.

Thanks chaps - it came in a small parcel of badges and no real financial harm done.

Obliged to all
