It appears to be the NCO's arm badge from 1939-1961 that has been modified with brooch type fixing...and perhaps silver plated to boot. I saw it as an overlarge sweetheart. PeterA (under-bidder) |

Here is an image of Lt Col The Earl of Dunraven and Mountearl in 1902, the first Colonel of the Sharpshooters. He is sporting the aforementioned bi-metal officers collars and, as was the fashion, wears the collar as a cap badge in lieu of the 'Wreathed SS' official cap badge. PeterA |

...and whilst on the subject of Sharpshooter NCO arm badges.
In 1961 the '3/4 County of London Yeomanry 'was amalgamated with the 'Kent Yeomanry' to form the 'Kent and County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters)' Even though the Queen was some eight years in to her reign the new arm badge, now sporting the prancing horse of Kent, was still made with a King's crown, changing some time later to a Queen's crown. Any views or comments on other regiments, of the time, of this practise. PeterA |
