An interesting Motto
Hi All
I got this today, a "bronzed" Motto. Its the first I have seen and its pretty worn as you can see. I have also put it alongside the white metal and the silver version. * Better pics when it arrives.

What do you think Griff, a 1916 OR version?

No.... this particular Motto type, often referred to as the "No ears" (there are two types) is a hard one to pin down. This is the first "bronzed", of its type, I have ever seen.... and like the "SILVER" version is a rare one. The white metal is quite common and found with a tapered, straight (with and without crimp) slider. The book “Regimental Badges” by Major T J Edwards contains a line drawing of this particular Motto on page 83 of his first edition book and has it listed as the badge of the 17th/21st Lancers. The first edition was produced in 1951.

It looked older than that, just by the design, I thought it would have been 17th and not 17th/21st

Until I see some photographic evidence of this Motto being worn ...... its a "maybe". I do have the other type in the lapel of an old comrade post Great war..... but not this one yet.

Looks like it started life with a slider looking at the stump in the middle of the skull ?
