17th/21st Lancer veteran

When I saw this badge it was one I had to have, dented, over polished and badly repaired, but much loved by a man who cherished it.

Slightly larger skull than the ones I have and I would be interested in members thoughts.

The ‘V’ eyes I think they’re later, post war.

Albeit that one looks like it fought the war single handedly!

Thanks for your comments chaps, the lead content is worth a bit for scrap . . !

I didn’t know they wore collars in WW2. Is the photo dated Griff?

Hi , I am not specifically a cap badge collector, I just like to collect anything of interest that catches my eye. I bought this badge as part of a lot because I wanted some Manchester Regt. stuff, my fathers old unit. I believe this is the 17th Lancers but wondered what the dangling devil is supposed to be. Is it official or just something somebody has randomly stuck on it? Thanks for any help.

A trinket from Lanzarote......
The Timanfaya Devil

Another very famous and interesting thing about Lanzarote is also one of its symbols. The Timanfaya Devil is a figure standing at the entrance to El Diablo restaurant, inside Timanfaya National Park.
