It originates from their 2nd Bn which was the 81st Foot with a secondary title of "Loyal Lincoln Volunteers", having been raised by Col. Albermarle Bertie, 9th Earl of Lyndsey whose family motto was, "Loyaute m'oblige' (My Loyalty Compels Me).

Simon,
You need to go back pre 1881 when they were the Loyal Lincoln Volunteers
81st of Foot (2nd Bn LNL)
A title (Loyal) continued for their heritage
Paul

I've attached several pics of the Loyal's silver/gilt officer's badges, as can be seen, the extension piece that the Royal Crest is fitted onto, is much the same as that found on the ORs badges.

I've also included some pics of the usual Loyals OSD badge, and what was described as an officers pagri badge. This second badge is noticeably larger, and I somehow don't think that it is just a makers variant, as yet, though, I've been unable to find another one like it.

Lovely badges, thanks for showing them. I believe the S/G officer badges with a plain gilt rose & scroll are the earlier issue examples, and the ones with the red enameling on the rose shown in post #10 later issue.
Cheers,
Alex

Hello Alex, Yes, I've seen the Loyals badges with red enamel, but I'm a bit reluctant to add any more to the five that I already have. My latest collection is, hopefully, going to be of all the KC infantry officers badges, there were 69 regiments, and as quite a few did change their badges during the KC period, there is already a lot of them without adding too many extras.

I only have 90, up to now, and if I can find all of them, the final collection is likely to be 200+. I've only added one repro badge, so far, (hopefully!) and this is a large Lincolnshire cap star. this is quite likely to be a long term gapfiller, as I'm not expecting the real thing to come my way, anytime soon.
