Hi Tim, yes that's the badge, thank you very much. For Firmin one would expect better quality, there is a lump next to the right hand crown on both badges, so not a one off, thanks again and best...

Hi Phil, I have a similar one, due to the thin pale khaki cloth and horizontal gun, I've always assumed it to be late WW1. It could be WW2 but I doubt it, even though some late war stock was still...

Hi Marc, I think you maybe over egging it. Some one, probably Indian, produced a badge to the best of his knowledge. Take for instance the original desert rat morphed from a anatomically correct rat...

Hi, the first pattern Q/C badge appears in white metal and silver. One was hallmarked 1960. Having said that Bosley had a W/M one in his 6th Oct. 1921 auction with a slider so ones suspicions are...

Hi Mick, one collar, lugs east-west removed, hence wire attachment. The title is applique, but very neatly done. The Firmin reference is to the cap badge, best wishes Mike
