Kings Colonials Small Badge

[denis pannett]

I recently acquired this small (scale in cm) Kings Colonials bronzed badge with screw posts as fixings. Does anyone know what it was used for - I presume not a collar with the screw posts? I have never seen one before so assume it is quite uncommon?
All suggestions welcome. Denis

I would definately think its off a pouch.

The pouch belt badge was the same size as the headdress badge and the pouch itself bore a smaller size second pattern Regimental badge in gilt attached using two screw posts

Thanks for the reference Mike and yes it is identical to the small pouch badge illustrated but in bronze, not gilt. Denis
