Default 6th DOCRCH

Here is an unusal 6th Duke of Connaught's Royal Canadian Hussars capbadge, it is flat backed and is a bronze colour. Any of the capbadges I have seen are stamped and are silver in colour.

From the looks of it, the badge may be one that has lost its finish or an unfinished officer's badge.
