I hope it is not post "1958" as this cap came from a very good source!

Thanks, Mick

Buttons are King's crown so it should be pre 53/4.

I would be happy to date it c. WWII, perhaps plus or minus a few years, but certainly pre QEII.

And the Cap Badge is marked "J&Co" on the large part of horn (Inside!) for Jenning's so it's before 1924 which makes me think that this was his original badge and he was promoted to Major and simply used his old cap badge on his new cap?
Thanks for any help. Mick

Can we see the J&Co mark please. Just out of curiosity.
Thanks Andy

Hi Andy, I would love to show you the back of this badge! But it was hell to get it out and even more hell to put it back in place again without causing any damage! (My hands are to big and I did hear a rip ) All I can say is that it had an impressed mark and I couldn't find any hall mark's on it. So I think that it is a base metal badge that has been silvered.

Thanks for your interest anyway. Mick

No problems Mick.
