Default Small 14th Kings Hussars OSD

A recent purchase off eBay.
I believe to be 14th Kings Hussars OSD cap badge with blades removed and at some point replaced with lugs.
ref KK 774.
Nice badge IMO.
Tony.

Strange tiny badge which seems to have not been bronzed, or perhaps it lost the finish from wear and repair. I think it to be good as well.

I think the rather thick impression the base of the blades give is due to the very small size of the badge.
