Kings Own Royal Regiment, KORR.

Used to be the 4th Foot pre 1881.

Its not pre 1881 no.

Its a Regimental tradition to use their old numbering system.

Yours looks to be 1930's to me.

Tally's up with what i've seen on the net. Most Medallions like these appear to be from that period. Much appreciated.
A bit nice to have the Regt colours in Enamel on it.
