Default Queen's Gurkha Signals - One Piece - A/A
Hi Guys,

If anyone has a Queen's Gurkha Signals one piece badge can they post it here please as I want to know who made it.

The badge probably does not have any maker mark but was probably made by Firmin. If I can see the lugs I can confirm.

Regards

Chris

Thanks Jack,

Has this badge been cast?

It looks like the rear is pitted - can you confirm.

Regards

Chris

I think this is a waist belt clasp badge worn on a rectangular chrome plate - hence the sqaure lug fittings. Illustrated in "British Army Badges" by Lt Col Robin Hodges page 82
