Hi all,

Is this a Royal East Midlesex Militia WM collar badge? Saxon crown of five points Churchill 1455) from 1875 and unsure if lasted through to becoming 4th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment in 1881.

Colour a little out off phone, cheers Dean.

G'day Dean.
Hope all is ticketyboo with you.

Yes indeed, it is Royal East Middlesex Militia.

I appreciate the colouring is a bit off, but is it white metal?

If white metal then O/R's.

They did become the 4th (Militia) Battalion Middlesex and as I understand it, Officers of the 4th did wear a similar badge on mess dress, but in a gilt metal.

But as always, I stand to be corrected.

Thanks and hi Brian,

It is certainly WM just was early and dark when I snapped it. So is an OR's badge. Your pairs are very nice to see thanks.

Cheers Dean.
