South Wales Borderers Band Pouch Badge

[41st]

A recent find which appears to be a a band pouch badge for the South Wales Borderers according to the Durand collection (an old catalogued collection to the SWB & Monmouthshires). I’ve shown this against a later Welsh Regiment Officer’s collar for size comparison.
Durand has this is a white metal dragon on green cloth background, however this example has bits of congealed leather and red felt stuck into the back. It is a good quality piece with screw posts to the reverse so definitely a pouch or belt plate.
The cap badge to the 2nd Vol Batt’n Monmouths looks to be the same pattern.
Eddie, over to you for any more info.
Hwyl,
Kevin
