Title 16th Queen's Lancers cap badge, ERII
Nationality British
Period c 1960
Sold

This 16th Queen's Lancers badge is interesting on account of its bi-metal construction, as by the early 1960s most of the regiments of the British Army had gone over to stabrite badges. Electric soldering was used on this badge, but in other respects its construction is very similar to the earlier format, though somewhat reduced in size.

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!!!

I am more and more pleased with the sword, and am wondering whether to do an article on it...
