Light Infantry Staff Officer's Forage Cap.

Picked up a few months ago, a Light Infantry officer's forage cap in rifle green with silver bullion peak embroidery, silver buttons which have tarnished to black and a Staff Officer's St Edwards crown bullion badge and red band.

A "Herbert and Johnson" cap marked as by appointment to HM The Queen.

Lovely cap Leigh

Thanks, I like it, it's a change from the usual blues and reds and gold's of most British army forage caps, the silver bullion and insignia work well with the dark green, the red band and badge make it a bit "different" it's a smart looking, good quality cap.

No, unfortunately, be good if it was.
