Shanghai Volunteer Corps badge
Hi all,
I got this badge and like it was ID-d here, it is a Shanghai Volunteer Corps cap badge. Does anybody with more knowledge can tell me what period this type was in use? I can't find much information online and also SVC cap badge that mainly pop up, are different. Is it a collar instead, pretty large for a collar then? Not really my thing so just wanted to educate myself before I move it on. Should I pend the lugs back or leave it as it is? There is some piece of tread attached underneath? Probably how it was displayed a long time ago because its looks old. Thank you, Timo

Hi Timo,
Nice badge. You are correct in identifying it as a Shanghai Volunteer Corps badge and to be more specific it's an OR's hat badge circa 1900. I personally wouldn't touch the lugs for fear of damaging them. I'd be interested in the badge should you move it on. Good collecting Paul
