14th Hussars badges
Hi PY
Many thanks for showing the three 14H badges, a great find. This is the first time I have seen this version of the "Hawk" Arm badge, apart from the photographs in Linaker and Dine.
Of particular interest are the lengths of the lugs on the oval badge. They look as though they could be long enough to be worn on the Foreign Service Helmet; sadly I am still waiting to see photographic evidence of it being worn on any type of headdress.
I don't suppose your contact has some appropriate pictures as well does he??
That would be yet another wonderful find.
Best wishes
Gordon
