Title 100th Foot glengarry badge
Nationality British
Period c 1874-81
Price £0.00
Sold

The 100th Foot has an ancient lineage, dating back to 1760, going through various disbandings until, in 1858, it was raised as the 100th (Prince of Wales Royal Canadian) Regiment of Foot, in 1881 becoming the 1st Battalion, The Prince of Wales Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians), which was disbanded in 1922 on the partition of Ireland.

The badge is a brass one, which has had its lugs removed, been silvered and had a pin fitting fixed to the reverse, possibly done for an officer or sergeant in period. It is possible that this is a very high quality Indian casting and not a die-struck piece.

bayonet arrived safely, I'm very happy with it

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
