Metal Elephant Pagri Badge
Not the best of images but can anyone identify the pagri badge on this helmet? The bottom device is clearly an elephant but is there a metal scroll above it?
Suggestions as to who might have worn it please. Jon |

Jon,
Pagri flash of 15th (Assaye) Field Battery, 26th Field Brigade Royal Artillery, worn in India 1921 - 1928. The scroll reads 'Assaye'. regards

Simon,
Brilliant, many thanks. I must have missed it in a cursory look through Norman Litchfield's Pagri Badges. Jon |

Have you got one in your own collection, Simon, I should imagine they are difficult to find?

No Frank, seen the Nellies but not the scroll.

Cast Assaye elephant badge
I have never thought much of this badge because it is a casting. Could it be original and Indian-made? Measures 33mm high and has two small loops on the back like a belt buckle badge. Available for offers if anyone is interested.
