CPR badge
Hi all,
I picked up this Cape Peninsular Rifles cap badge but strangely, it only has on lug and doesn't appear to have had more or been tampered with; does anyone know why this should be? 20210625_073934.jpg 20210625_073940.jpg Thanks in advance Iain

Hi Iain
It looks to me like something has been broken off the ends of the scroll, there is a bit of the edge missing on each side. Maybe this was used for something else. Cheers, Alex |

Alex is correct, The scroll ends on both sides have broken off. There would be a lug on each of the scroll ends. Unfortunately this was a very badly designed badge and the scroll ends break off easily. All the examples I have seen, have had the ends reattached or repaired to make them more secure.
