Hi Martin,
Thanks for your detailed and systematic approach to the question of the star badges. I wish I could be as focussed as you.
There is a photograph on page 38 of issue 19 of the Regiment magazine from Feb/Mar 1997 (which covers The Royal Anglian Regiment 1685-1997) depicting a Leicestershire captain in 1879 dressed in blue patrol jacket for undress wear with a star cap badge with Royal Tiger and Irish Harp which would be the silver and gilt version which I have illustrated earlier in this thread.
Photographic evidence with dating such as this is most helpful.
Be great to see other dated Leicesters photographs and their badges.
Regards Dean.
