Royal Artillery Pagri badge
Another find this morning, I think it is a pagri badge, but it is die-struck with a pin on the reverse to secure it, was it made in the UK or in India?
Thoughts please . . ! Rob

Only officers had the gun style pagri badges and this is an other ranks from the look of it.
I dont recognise the rear pin as any type of fitting off an RA pagri badge. I believe its had its slider removed and a commercial pin added later in its life. regards

Thanks for the reply, the area where the slider may have been has now the pin fixture brazed on to the badge, looking at it under a glass I can see no evidence of any other fixture being present, this is the reason I have added this thread, it's quite unusual and the first fixture like this I have ever encountered.

I’m with Simon B. On this one. Some Wiley Oriental Gentleman has possibly adapted an OR’s badge for his own reasons, if he were working as a mess steward in India, Their badges WERE pinned on the reverse!. D.J.

Royal Artillery Pagri badge
DJ, thanks for your thought, I forgot that some mess stewards and waiters wore badges of the Regiment's mess they worked in.

Rob,
The Royal Artillery had their own style of Bearer/Mess Waiter head dress badges, see attached. Your badge was slidered and has had an after market, commercial 'sweetheart' type pin attached. regards
