Good evening and welcome to the Forum William, you should enjoy it.

It's your great find so you can now take ownership.

regards, Iain

The Bi Metal indicates that it might have been for an officer, as was the custom and fashion in the Regiment. The size indicates Headress - he suspects a very early piece- very nice an excellent find.
