Default Kaffarian Rifles: cap or sweetheart badge?
An odd looking cap badge to the Kaffarian Rifles... I have never seen that kind of lugs before, but in plastic badges, and still the cap badge looks like it were somewhen provided with vertical lugs for a split pin, eventually replaced by a pin... any hints?

Hi I have a similar badge. I have a feeling that this was an officers cap badge, but am unable to confirm this.

Regards

Hello gents
From the photo it looks like a rough casting.
If so,would this calibre of badge be used in a sweetheart capacity?
Regards
Dave

Hi All, This is not a sweathearts brooch. If it is officers or not, I can not confirm, but it is a WW2 era headdress badge. Regards Andrew
