Royal Scots Greys S&G

I think this example with a S indicates it was made by J.R.Gaunt circa WWII. I bought it to restore to a SD cap and it was a very good price, though the postage was a bit steep from the US.

Very nice Tony, almost a "snap". I read somewhere that the S for Silver plated was used during WWII.

Glad you like the cap, they are quite special because of the black crown piping which was unique to them because of the last Tzar I think who was Colonel of the regiment when he was killed.

HI Chaps
J R Gaunt used the S for silver on officers badges during WWII and p for plated examples when you encounter the letters s and p you can generally except them as being WWII examples Julie added to here site a scarce WWII S for silver Wiltshire yeomanry example the lugs to the rear are normally ordinary examples and plated on both types hope this helps steve
