Cumberland Regt.

[BILL DUGGAN]

Has anyone got any ideas about this one.
It is similar to a Border Regt badge but has a completely blank centre and the words 'Cumberland Regt.' on the circlet.
It's brass and I found it in the Portobello Road Antique Market.
It is about 2.25" across in every direction and has normal cap badge attaching lugs in a east west configuration.
My suspicion is it's a Schools C.C.F. or O.T.C. badge.
I wrote to the Border R. museum but got a predictable no reply.
It's got me stumped. Any Ideas, anyone ?

Hi Bill.

This is the best I can do for you on this one. Other than this, I give up as well.

It looks like the 'main part' of the glengarry badge below.

Differences:
Glengarry has: 34 prominently in the centre, which is raised.
Regiment is spelt in full.
One * between Cumberland and Regiment.
More battle honours.
Voiding in amongst the leaves.

Doesn't really help you though.

Regards
Brian
