Is it possible they are belt/pouch badges with the extra length of lugs to go through leather etc. Any help appreciated. Andy.
They are cap badges.WW2 period I belive although stand to be corrected on their date of issue and wear. The KOYLI has been my "family regiment" since before the 1914-18 war and as such I have always had an interest in the regiment. I have over the years, had many WW2 period khaki sidehats bearing this pattern of cap badge.
