Sikh -sidecap

[billy]

Hi local Antique shop has a Sikh sidecap, buttons are there but missing a badge, though evidence of two lugs as holes are there for the badge, it was going for £75 ? Is this about right for such? The bloke selling it is quite knowledgeable on Militaria but price amazed me, is this of interest to anyone? He will be there Saturday am sure, thought would post as see there is an interest in Indian badges, all the best billy

Which Sikh would ever wear a sidecap?

British Officer?

Maybe sidecap of a British officer of a Sikh regiment (which is something different then a "Sikh sidecap"). But to come to such a conclusion one must identify the sidecap as belonging to a sikh regiment, of which I see no evidence in the post above. No decription of colour, or of the buttons (that seem to be available) or anything at all.

Hi all don't collect to the Indian Rgts was putting it out there in case one of you where interested in it, I could have returned and took a picture for you, when Brian told me what he had I also thought "Turban" but took a look at it while examining his case of badges, came to the conclusion as already stated as it was a European Officer, Henk I take offence by your comment!
