NVR Indian Badge?

[Piffer]

Listed on e bay as Nagpur Volunteer Rifles, image attached , the crown looks very peculiar, unlike being associated with a British Indian Army/AFI unit, wonder if its is to the Nagpur Volunteer Rifles and has been misidentified does anybody know? Thanks .

I dont think it is ...I wrote to the seller ..he isn't sure either!
The crown is unlike anyother ive seen on any Indian Army badge

Hi, do you know if it has a makers name on the back. And at the moment it looks very modern made, so could turn out to be a copy

This badge looks right to me, just losing a lot of it's blackening (which seems to be paint!). There is what looks like a Gaunt tablet on the back of the crown, slightly obscured by the paint.

I have seen a cast copy of this badge, but the rear detail on this is much better, and the rear lugs look just right.

All blackened Indian badges that I have seen were painted, usually with a glossy sheen.
