Hi Everyone,
I pick this one up.
Could anyone tell me what is it.
Its the same size as a usual collar badge.
Cheers,
Freddy

I think that this pattern of plumes was worn by a couple of regiments. The Carnarvon Militia and the Gurkhas. I'm sure the guys will correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards,

Dave

Hi Dave,
Thank you for the info.
My thoughts was the Gurkhas.

Just to throw a stone into the pond, please be aware that one of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Districts use (or did use) an identical badge as their district emblem on tunic jackets.

I don't know about 'all' by any means, but many of the Gurkha ones are/were blackened, as all Gurkha regiments are Rifles.
