Having recently accidentally purchased a button to this battalion I now seem to have purchased a badge with a nearly identical design in a job lot.
I am not sure if the badge is genuine or not but it seems to have the fittings of an early 20th century officer's cap badge, having a loop and a flat projection that fitted into a slot. I cannot find this badge in K&K and would be very happy if someone could positively identify it for me. |

Peter Brydon appears to have had a similar badge in his collection. See the photograph in Post 4 of this thread.

Simon,
thank you for the clarification, it is appreciated. It came in a job lot of Indian badges and I suspect that it was mistaken for a 5th Mahratta Light Infantry badge. Simon. |

Simon,
I also recall it being worn by the 5th (Callington) Cornwall RVC. If someone has the 2 Cornwall badge booklets by I. Thomas they may be able to confirm that. best wishes
