10th Hussars with Lugs
Gents, I was very kindly pointed towards this anodised 10th Hussars cap badge by a fellow forum member and good friend.
A two piece construction, its an unusual beast having lugs on the rear. The round loops appear to be slightly 'squared off' by design. Suspect this may be for the Other Ranks Torrin side cap? Any info or observations greatly received folks. Regards all Bess |

Nice badge mate,appears to be all present and correct. I agree ,unusual to be fitted with lugs. I dont recall coming across one previously.
My thought would be side hat ,i know a number of badges that normally have sliders that are fitted with lugs and are listed as sidehat badges. |

I’ve no idea about AA’s but I notice it has the die flaw below the D of Dein which is found on a myriad of metal repros from Welsh Regt, V.B.’s, Caernavon & Denbigh Hussars, 12L, 10H etc.

Thanks Luke. It really doesnt have the feel of a reproduction or copy of an anodised badge. Most fakes are fairlyq well know and I've never seen this before. Its of perfectly normal quality for an anodised badge.
However I accept your die flaw knowledge, so who knows, could be suspect after all? If its a copy or 'made up' someone has gone to a lot of effort to produce a high quality anodised badge that is in itself rare . . . |

Could it be the AA die was latterly used to make metal repros. Sadly I don’t know enough about AA manufacturing methods but that may be another possibility.
My only other comment would be it appears to be of tagged construction which must be usual for AA? Also those loops look quite long (and metallic) like the C&D repros. |

No the.lugs are fine, its all 100% anodised. They are longer than usual and as I said flattened at the end a little which looks on purpose.

The tagged scroll can be found on the 2.piece Duke of Boots anodised cap badge.
