Souvenir Belt & Leicesters’ badge
Hi Mark
Congratulations indeed, a very handsome belt and badges. As Tinto says possibly Boer War, but certainly Victorian/Edwardian if they have loops/lugs, and I can at least tell you that the Leicesters badge is the Firmin & Sons’ maker’s type. Given my interested in Leicestershire cap badges, I wondered if you’d be good enough to perhaps tell me if this particular badge has any braze holes please? I’d also be glad to know the approximate distance between the two loops/lugs, if you didn’t mind?
Regards
Martin
