That badge would have had two flat/flexible tangs for attaching to the cap, not a slider or lugs.

Thanks Phil. I noticed that. But in my situation i'm actually not bothered how i secure it. As long as i have something to secure it.

Putting a slider on that badge would be a crime in my opinion and not too far off from securing it to something with carpet tacks.
It’s a beautiful badge, worth paying to have it properly repaired with blades and re-bronzed. Magpie or Warren Butcher are my suggestions. In car terms you’ve got a vintage Rolls-Royce and are considering sticking Ford Mondeo doors on it. |

You’re welcome.
It’s worth confirming the size and checking dates of this badge with the cavalry and OSD boffs. It’s certainly pre-1924 as if memory serves that’s when Jennens were taken over by Gaunt. I can seen these with blades listed for between £65-135 on dealers sites. Your badge being marked Jennens is firstly far nicer quality than most of those others and second highly sought after and desirable by OSD collectors. With a professional repair restoring it you will never in my opinion lose out on it. |
