43rd Indian Cavalry Regiment WW2
 

This arrived today and I thought I would share the picture, I have seen the metal version once or twice but never this beret badge.
Formed as an armoured car unit and finished the war as an armoured delivery regiment for Burma Arakan area , disbanded 1946 Kev

Very nice and, I suspect, quite rare.

Cheers Peter, I am chuffed to have found one, Ashok Nath describes this sort of badge as '' Zari ''
I take it that the word relates to wire embroidered badges?

The meaning of the word "Zari" - a type of gold thread used decoratively on Indian clothing, as stated on the Google website.

Gold threadwork, interwoven with embriordery etc..nice one though

'Tres chic', as the French would say. BTW, the 43rd still exist or, more accurately, exist again as the 43rd Armoured Regiment of the Army of Pakistan.
