Rare 1st Gurkha Badge
I just acquired a small job lot of "mystery" badges - the lot was not particularly well described or photographed but the one badge I knew I had to have was an extremely rare cap badge to the 2nd Btn 1st Gurkha Rifles - worn1886 >1906 . I have never seen an example for sale before, indeed as far as I know the Gurkha Museum doesn't have an example - the only one I've ever seen is in Ashok Nath's private collection. I got so excited about owning it that I think I missed the fact that the other badges might contain some hidden gems - I've listed them in the mystery - unknown insignia section and would appreciate forum members help in identifying them.

This was the one I was after as well, and I knew you would be it after too
Did not bid finally as always very difficult to get rid of the other badges for me in India and I thought the lot would go for a hell of a lot because of the Gurkha badge so did not bid. You did well I think! |
