15th/19th The King's Royal Hussars Cap Badge

[Walt P]

Hello All,

Though I don't collect British insignia, I recently "rescued" this lovely badge from a local coin shop. It appears to be original & well used. I did a cursory search, and I realize that the regiment was formed in 1922. I would appreciate if someone can provide a date of manufacture for the badge.

Additionally, if anyone is interested in adding this beauty to their collection, I am willing to part with the badge. I have no clue as to the value, so will rely on an honest offer. Cheers,

Walt

Would someone be kind enough to provide me with the period of which this badge would have been worn? Thank you,

Walt

Maker mark on slider suggests a post WW2 manufacture, King's Crown in the crest a pre 1953.

Yeah I would think so! 96 next birthday as well.

Also, I recently acquired some personal effects belonging to a 2nd Lt in A Squadron 15th/19th - followed up with some research I've actually managed to contact his son and get some more info!
