Default Light Infantry Sterling marked.

Firstly, Light Infantry horn variations confuse me a bit. Will take a stab at this badge and say KRRC? Jennens sterling marked to 1901-02. Possibly a pouch badge with the screw attachments to reverse. 36mm x 33mm. Interested in what other might think? As always many thanks, Jack

Hi Jack,

A lovely looking pouch badge, well done, a nice find. Like you I struggle to see an rhyme or reason to the various 'bugle horn' badges. I guess this could also be KSLI ?

Cheers, Roy.

Hello Roy, thanks for the input, had not thought of KSLI.

Hi Jack,

It seems these (somewhat standard) strung bugle horns are pretty difficult to pin down to a specific unit, at least without provenance.

A great find though and I'm pleased you shared it, well done!

Cheers, Roy.

Very similar to the pattern of the Rifle brigade pouch badge, and if you don't want it ill buy off you. Ive seen the same badge worn by the Royal Green Jackets on the pouch, but it was acceptable to wear a crossbelt badge or pouch badge from any of the parent regiments
