I am attaching hereto a picture of an Imperial Light Horse badge I picked up in 'Skies', (Bulawayo) about fifteen years ago and it has simply hung around ever since.

The badge measures about 4 inches x 4 inches and I have always assumed it to be the arm badge of a Colour Sergeant, worn above three stripes, but I am guessing.

I do not collect in this field and if it is of interest to you then you are welcome to this badge as a gift - call it a 'Welcome to the Forum'

Sorry about the poor photograph, but that was about the last drop of ink in the cartridge.

Edited to add: Perhaps it is a blazer badge?

Regards,

John
