Title 16th Foot glengarry badge, OR's (Fox's restrike)
Nationality British
Period c 1889-1902
Price £30.00

This design was worn by the 16th Foot (Bedfordshire Regiment) from 1874-1881.This example is probably a near contemporary re-strike, marketed by a Mr Fox of Southsea from the original dies c 1889-1902, an indicator of this being that the lugs are set on the middle of the badge, as opposed to North/South as on the originals.

Its condition is excellent for its age. It measures 5.5cm across and is struck in yellow brass.

I received the silver Verdienstkreuz this morning. Your swiftness and dedication was very much appreciated and, though the envelope arrived with a Post Office sticker saying it had been found open or damaged, the cross was unharmed and looks beautiful. Thanks for your time.
