Hi Tim,
The general shape/proportions look very close to the K&K badge but as you say it’s not quite the same. The band nearest the mouthpiece is a line of dots on yours whereas on the K&K badge it’s a solid band.
If I recall correctly the badge shown in first edition Gaylor is very different and similar to the badge in the opening post.
There’s not much, if any, literature to these regiments out there. Who’s to say which one, if either are right between K&K and Gaylor. Similarly who’s to say various blackened bugles weren’t used?
Here is the WM badge I was talking about. I couldn’t find the thread despite looking for over an hour. Hopefully the owner of the image doesn’t mind, if they do I will of course take it down. This badge ‘appears’ to be from the same die as the K&K one.
If someone on the forum does own a badge to this regiment I’d love to see it.
Cheers,
Luke
