First Hussars
How do we date the First Hussars cap badges? I have been told that the wreath of leaves is an indication of the era. The wreath, if it touches the coronet, makes the badge a CEF era badge. Mazeas Pre-1914 shows a gap between the coronet and leaves, Charlton shows no gap, Mazeas 20-50 shows a badge with a gap, and Tripp also shows the badge with the gap. Our 20-50 badge registry shows no gap.
Can the evolution of this badge be clarified?
