Guess What Badges Used to be on These??
Hello,
Here are a brown leather Pouch Belt and Pouch, both missing their badges, but having left an intriguing imprint.
The Crown isnt a QVC, but perhaps a styalised type, or those flat topped types found about 1900 or even a KC.
The Pouch Belt has white metal fittings and a Lions Head, 3 chains and whistle adornment.
The Pouch badge is 3" tall and the pouch badge 1 3/4" tall both witha distinctive elongated neck on them.
I am thinking of two options.
1. Volunteers of a British Infantry Bn, still dressed as Rifles, with brown acroutrements and silver fittings.
2. Indian Army, Gurkhas.
I may be completely wrong and any suggestions gratefully received.
regards
