In my opinion it is neither a boss or helmet plate badge. The curvature and overall quality is not what I would expect see from a helmet plate badge, and I cant think of any boss badge mounting like this.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the replies. Yes, I agree the curvature is too much for an HPC but I have seen boss badges with 2 wire prongs for fastening, which this looks like it was before the wires were snipped off. Did any regiments wear a sphinx boss badge? I forgot to mention it came with a bunch of Rifle Brigade officer pips & buttons as well as one or two other things. Cheers, Alex

Yes, a small silver sphinx with "EGYPT" tablet was worn as a boss badge, I just can't remember who by (South Lancs as a CFSC badge?).
I've seen such a badge on a black boss offered for sale but have no idea of its age or provenance. Edit - and while I've been messing around instead of finishing this post Peter's linked to a suggestion of South Lancs. That's a nice CFSC. Last edited by leigh kitchen; 05-05-19 at 07:27 AM.

I have no connection with the seller of this item I just think it is attractive and relevant to this thread:

A cap to The Lancashire Regiment (Prince of Wales's Volunteers)? As they weren't formed until 1958 presumably they would have worn the insignia of the Lancashire Brigade?
