West Somerset Imperial Yeomanry Shoulder Title

[Chay_Fezzar]

Incredibly I already have one in my collection. When 2 came along at the car boot sale I began to wonder.

I think I have one of these somewhere, it came along a while back and I am not sure whether it's a slouch hat badge or a fake. I would welcome others opinions.

If For Slouch Hat They Should Be Hand Cut From Very Thin Brass Sheet
On Long Loops.
Saw A Whole Box Of These For Sale At Yate Militaria Fair A Couple Of
Years Ago

Are they cast 'in theatre' ?

[Chay_Fezzar]

These are cast.

[matti467]

Where did they serve in the Wars ?

Described as officer slouchie badge (K&K vol. 1, pg. 344) these can be found in hand cut brass 185mm x 50mm. There are very subtle differences from yours and the photograph in K&K. However, there are some small differences which I have highlighted in pencil.

Thank you. I think we are saying re-strike.
