KOSB Badge with Slider
Got this one today. It has obviously had a bad repair job to the slider. I can not see anywhere there has been lugs attached in the usual place. Would there have been a variation of this badge with a slider, possibly for a pagri or beret? The badge looks good to me and a good strike.
As always your opinions are greatly welcomed. Thanks, Bill

Just an uninformed thought - no sign of n/s lugs having been fitted?

Could it be for the officer's forage cap?

The forage cap was apparently only worn by the Adjutant and the badge was reduced size, silver plated and with a lug and blade.

Tim,
The badge on the initial post is not a forage cap badge, below are 3 images of a 1924 Birmingham Hallmarked forage cap badge, this style of badge was worn up until at least the mid 1930's. |

The badge is a pagri badge. I would not be overly concerned with the roughness of the back or the repair, below are two variations of KC helmet plate centres which have similar design to yours and would have been worn for a short period after 1902.
