Item History
The backing of this badge illustrates standard British military contract manufacturing from the interwar and World War II periods. The long, solid brass slider was specifically designed to slide into the front peak of the stiff service dress caps or the side bands of forage caps worn by riflemen. The clean, un-repaired braze joint on this slider is highly sought after by militaria collectors to confirm the badge is an authentic period piece rather than a modern reproduction.
