Default Loyal North Lancashire(?) Very large badge-purpose?

Submitted for your consideration is a highly detailed cast, white metal and gliding metal badge. It measures 106 mm (4 1/4 inches) high X 54 mm (2 1/8 inches) wide. It is quite robust in construction.The reverse has four equally spaced wire loop retaining lugs, each 10 mm (7/16 inches) high.

I believe that is for the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment though stand to be corrected. I suspect that, given it's size and weight, that it may be some kind of horse furniture or for use on some other thick leather, etc - but that is purely surmise on my part.

Any information on the identification, date and use of this insignia would be appreciated. Thank you.

with kindest regards to all,

Tim

That would be the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment (The Loyal Regiment after 1921), but I have never seen anything like it. Not entirely sure that it has anything to do with that particular regiment though. A very nice item however!

Possibly made as a one-off for a music stand or band rostrum, or for a music case and removable for cleaning?

Thank you CB for the confirmation of Regt. As you say, it's possible that the heraldic elements could be for something else.

all the best,

Tim

Hi Tim,
You may be on to something. I'll have a scan on the 'net for pictures of the Loyal N. Lancaster Regt band and may find something. Much obliged!

all the best,

Tim
